We had a terrible time with mites, aphids and even the bugs
that killed the grape (wine) crops in France at one time (I
forget the name of the bugs) with our first crop.

The NEEM oil helped a bit, but my son (who inadvertently gave us the bugs, thanks, buddy!) used ladybugs and had a beautiful second crop.

He got his at Aurora Hydro.
We used one of those yellow hangers this time and
Diatomaceous Earth. We still had aphids this time around,
but they don't hurt the crop, and run off of the hanging buds when they are drying.
