The most common of these is the aphid; it is a small black insect which sucks the sap from the tender shoots, especially the beans and peas. As always prevention is better then cure and having aromatic flowers planted close by, helps repel these pests, as we explained in one of our previous blogs. The best plant against the se aphids is thyme, but also basil, sage, garlic or mint.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/hiedra-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If it is not enough with these methods, we advise <strong>ecological remedies to eliminate the aphid<\/strong>, such as the fermented extract of half a kilo of <strong>ivy leaves<\/strong> in five litres of water.
