Thousands of small brown insects on my gooseberry bush

davemorton · 2012-05-23 19:46:34

:eek: Just checking out the garden and noticed one of my gooseberrys had lots of curled up leaves. Both plants are next to each other, but only one bush seemed affected. Looking under the curled up leaves, there is hundreds of small brown dots, insects I presume, but, what are they??? Many thanks for shedding any light on…

Agree about using ladybirds or soap, try to avoid other chemicals if you can. You can buy ladybirds or their larvae and they did a great job in my greenhouse last year. And before they arrived, I made up some 'soap nuts' liquid and sprayed that on the aphids which helped enormously. :-)
