In this video you will see the five items or methods I tried to get rid of Aphid bugs from my hydroponic system and what was a total fail and which one actually worked. Please leave comments on any products that you may have used, if it was a fail or success, to share knowledge of doing hydroponics.
It's good to change up your bug sprays so the ones that are immune don't reproduce. As soon as I find a link for the Eco Garden again I will share it here. Thank you for all your comments.

Why didn’t you list the ingredients for eco garden? You did this with the other products. Is this an ad for eco garden? …. I loved your advice up to the promotion for eco garden without any substantive information for viewers.
No it’s not an ad for eco garden. Just a product I purchased. I have only done one sponsored video to this point and I would always disclose that to the audience. Thank you for the feed back. The back of the bottle says active ingredients Azadicrochin 1.2%. Other ingredients 98.2%. Contains 0.35 grams of Azadicrochin per fluid ounce. I hope that helps
Thank you for the quick response. I did some research on the EcoGrow product you promoted and learned that it is a pesticide & not safe for children or animals. It has a lot of toxic ingredients. You out up a label in your video that read: “claimed to be organic” … but that is very misleading since you do not go on to mention that it is a pesticide… I’m not trying to be overly critical but since you were so informative/critical about your other products, it feels misleading to not mention that you were recommending views use a pesticide on hydro plants inside of their homes. That’s very extreme! But Thank you again for your response.
The company did claim it to be organic. And was listed as such on Amazon. In another video when I’m cleaning the plants I state it’s “Said to be organic” :) Thanks again for your critique. It helps me grow in my YT journey. I’m getting better with every video :) I continue to learn more as I grow, to share with viewers. Appreciate the time you took to comment.
This has bothered me that it claims to be organic and after your research you stated it was not. I wanted to come back and share with you the product page from their website. It still does not say what the other ingredients are but again it states on the site it is safe for people, kids and pets. :) Just doing a quick follow up with you. And sharing their site www.ecogardenpesticide.com/product/ecogarden-organic-pesticide/?fbclid=IwAR0js90pqaTfJguaojw0cWWm6soGJqk5sUmrgYDJKLyv4_B2TmD7oAjzy7g
Thank you for the information Angie!
You are so welcome. Glad you found it helpful :)
I throw 1 drop Meyers soap, half teaspoon peppermint, half teaspoon tea tree oil, teaspoon of neem oil and sometimes some aloe Vera powder into my spray bottle and shake. Can take a few weeks but it works for me
That's awesome. Glad it works for you. For some reason the soap and oils did nothing for me. I must have strong stubborn aphids. :)
@@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie if you haven’t tried tea tree oil I would give it another shot, it seemed to be the secret sauce for me. Bugs seem to actually not like the smell, unlike peppermint. I’ve even read of people having success with just tea tree aromatherapy candles around their growing space.
Thx for your videos! They’re great
@@TinMan445 What a great idea on the candles! Right now I think Im good. But always love added things for my back pocket of knowledge it I need them! :)
Arh...many thanks for the detailed reviews...Help us save tons of money buying products that do not work 😁
My pleasure 😊
Thank you Angie good info!!
You are so welcome!
Great video Angie!! I’ve used neems oil quite often with good results. It’s an organic pesticide, miticide, fungicide. During the warm and hot part of the year, I do not wear yellow when working in the greenhouses. They are good at hitchhiking!
I was just at a hydro store. Guy knew a lot! He said neem oil can close pores of plants and stunt growth. Not sure if you experienced this but wanted to share with you
I used the yellow sticky’s in my house plants the toloco mosoquito trap ($22 on Amazon) I’ve used the neem oil as well with success.

I've been growing cannabis since 2007 in some from of hydroponics. Specifically aeroponics since 2017 rdwc prior to that. I've come across all types of critters. Being proactive has been the best thing I've found. Every now and them I like to use 35% peroxide. Larva really hate that stuff.
I love the mischievous bug laughing sound!! 😂
The bugs laugh at me. Dealing with a small amount of them again now but pretty much under control. But ya. That’s what I hear them doing to me 🤣🤣
Very informative. I'm just beginning my AeroGarden journey with a AG Bounty. The unit will be delivered tomorrow. I'm trying to watch and read all I can to try to avoid mistakes and troubleshoot possible problems I may encounter. Thank you so much 💗 for the info.
Good luck. I still fight aphids to this day. I have done so many different trial and error type things. The Biggest takeaway, is NO PLANTS anywhere around hydro that has a dirt base. And watch them closely. AeroGarden is a little easier to spot when there is a problem then full size hydro. Keep em posted. Glad you like the channel :)
@@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie Oh! I guess I should get rid of my Basil plant in soil then. What a shame. I've only had her for a week or so and she's doing so well under my grow bulb. Any suggestions about that one plant? I live in Florida so I can't put it outside as the days are still 90⁰. It will die from the heat.
One really easy thing to do is take the basil out of the dirt. Rinse the roots really well. Place it in a vase or large pot with only rock and water. Then you have a quick hydroponics. Just change out the water about once a week to stop root rot. I have done this with a few plants I wanted to keep. Or make sure they aren't in the same room as your hydro. I have plants I bring in for the winter (Im in Michigan) and they live in the basement so on another floor of the hydro :) I am also growing sweet potato vines. they are doing very well (will do a video soon) and they are in water and rocks ! Hope that helps
@@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie You're awesome. Thank you so much for reply and so quickly as well. When you say water and rock, do you mean to put them in a net pot with hydro rocks? Sorry I'm a real Newbie. Also, do I have to feed the basil with hydro food every so often?
If you are not putting it in with your hydro system, you can just rinse the root, then place it in a vase and use the rocks to hold the plant up. You can use your water from your hydro if you want. I pull water out of my iHarvest and pour it in the other plants that's fine too :)
I need to try the ecogarden
You will love it. It’s been many weeks now and still no returning bugs!
We don't like bugs they like us, thanks for sharing!
😂🐛
Thanks for the informative video! Have you had any success using a tent/greenhouse that fits the iHarvest? I'm concerned about the humidity levels in the winter and potential bugs and wondering if a greenhouse around the unit might be the way to go.
I have not personally but have seen some use grow tents and put the unit inside. For me personally our house is so dry in the winter that the water from the unit is nice added humidity for the house. The plants dont need humidity themselves that you would think they do. As long as the roots are getting food supplemented water they are totally fine and it almost has its own humid level inside the unit so it works perfect. The bugs, if you get them, stay right on the unit. They won’t go anywhere. It’s the perfect environment for them. And they are so tiny you probably wouldn’t see them. But if you have the space for a greenhouse, im sure it would be fine. But not everyone fights bugs. I was just a lucky one. I’m sure living in the woods doesn’t help either :)
Share what products you’ve used to combat bugs in your hydroponics. Share your knowledge with others.
The yellow sticker things work great for me.
I have heard that they worked for some. I was told they are good as an indicator of how bad the problem is. But so glad they worked for you! My bugs not so much :)
😦😦😦💯💯 love it very interesting
Didn't know you had a channel. Like the steampunk gear.
Will it hurt good bugs? My honeysuckle is getting attacked by aphids. Hummingbirds prefer that to the feeder.
Sorry for the delay in comments :/ I would assume it would kill “good bugs” as it kills them all. It really helps with aphids. They were totally gone for several weeks and a few art starting to pop up again but just started another round of treatment and it’s been great. This eco garden is a life saver.
My daughter has just got to know where you got your hat and glasses lol
I bought them at a big biker rally a few years ago. I think I have the business card or tags somewhere. I can see if I can find it but it was in Michigan from a leather company. I keep thinking I need to bring it back for another video :)
@@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie omg! she was just in love!!!
I just found tiny little caterpillars in my pod that’s in the water! The seed didn’t sprout. I pulled it out and the pod had mold on the top so I pulled it out and thought what was roots but was the bugs. Do you know what they could be? Thank you for any info. I’m new to this. Thank you for any info
Those are bug larvae. You can use mosquito bits and put in a net of some kind and hang in the tank. If there is any green on the growing media and the media isn’t covered that’s probably algae. Won’t hurt plants but can be annoying. You can also dunk pods in hydrogen peroxide to kill off any bugs. Hope that helps!
I got the plant's version of VD from an unsafe bag of Jiffy seedling mix. What I do not get is how I have them in hydroponics if I use pool noodles and not rock wool, or grow plugs since the pool noodle is never wet (or stays wet like a sponge?
The larvae can live and produce in the water. That’s why hydrogen peroxide is a good additive to kill the larvae. Another thing I have not used but read up on is the mosquito bits. You hang them in a nylon bag and hang them in the tank and that should help for killing then before they start! But they shouldn’t be able to live in the pool noodle unless they are thriving on the root system.
@@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie Very strange they can live in water though I have seen a few in there. I drown them so they can drown. I had no luck with Hydrogen Peroxide except it killed two of my plants and burned a lot of others mixed 30 ml (2 tbsp) to a gallon of water for the 3% kind.
Can ecogarden be used to prevent the bugs, so can you use it when you first plant your veggies to prevent the bugs?
It probably could be but for indoor garden systems I don’t know if that would be necessary as there are better ways to do that. For example the growing media or the growing pods can be frozen or some boil them. ONLY freeze the Rapid Rooter brand but ones like Aerogarden can be boiled. This will rid media of larvae of for some reason they came in it. Although I haven’t ever seen it in Rapid Rooters. You can also run fans to prevent the white flies from finding their way before plants are established. You could use eco garden or another spray but this could save money in the long run….
I've turned into the monkey mom with my plants!! daily I go looking for the aphids which multiply so fast. I spray and squish!!
That’s funny. I’m always searching even when I don’t have a problem. Paranoid!
Does Ecogarden spray smell bad? (Like neem oil?) Or is it more pleasant?
It’s not neem oil smell no but it does have a scent. That thank goodness goes away after a short while. I’m still using it. It’s best to spray at night when the lights go off and let the plants sit for hours with no lights. And don’t over saturate to help leaf burnout. Hope that helps
I swear by the yellow sticky fly traps, sad they didn't work for you. I have them everywhere.
Neam out doesn't work. A spray bottle with soap and water works best for me if you want to take the time to spray them.
When bugs get crazy, I will get my vacuum out and suck them up.
I went to a hydro store and they said the yellow traps are great for determining how bad your problem is but that they won’t catch everything. Neem oil is so sticky but I do use it on plants I’m not necessarily going to eat. Like the leaves on my egg plant right now. My sweet potato vine and a few others. But the Katchy bug traps have still been the best for me. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
If we used that pesticide, would that mean we would have to wash everything before we eat it?
I suggest that you do. It says it’s organic and that you only have to wait 24 hours after spray to eat but we always wait longer and rinse it thoroughly.
its neem oil in a different container.
Which one? The Eco Garden has many more ingredients if that’s what you are referring too. Neem oil works great but can get very sticky on the units
I used 3in1 by earths ally with no success
Hi I did not see ecogarden orgauic pesticide 4 oz.
There should be a clickable link in the video description: but here it is for you :) EcoGarden amzn.to/3aa5cvD
@@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie Thank you I will check it out.
Came to learn about hydroponics, stayed for the steampunk goggles.
Ha. My dads favorite video! 🤣
How to repel pests in hydroponic gardens organic
Organically you can use neem oil and dish soap but it’s never worked for me
✅✅😎
Nice profile avatar (if that’s what it’s called lol). Kind of reminds me of someone else’s...
😂 just changed it
@@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie Why would you do such a thing?! :(
@@NotTheRealScarface make it more personal :)
Soooo I think I need those glasses LOL
I bought them when I got my steam punk hat. I used to wear it to bike rallies. Love them!
