The organic option

We never spray against bugs, prefering to companion plant in an effort to attract the "good guys". This is working well as an outbreak of blackfly on our sweetcorn was soon sorted out by ladybird larvae.

Make sure your plot has plenty of overwintering places for these and other good guys such as lacewings to overwinter, thus giving you a head start come the spring.
