So I got rid of the snails with garlic and I now have aphids instead. They don't seem to mind garlic or soapy water. Have tried numerous things and had limited success with very strong nettle tea. But it's getting to be a hassle brewing a huge vat of nettle tea to pour over the plants once or twice a day.

Am considering ordering some ladybirds online, any reason I should not do this? Also, how I do I stop them fucking off to the neighbours instead of staying with me and eating my aphids? Will the nettle tea and remnants of garlic deter the ladybirds?

7 dust. Or if you want a natural method maybe red wasps i watch them hover by the aphid then grab it and fly away.
