How do i kill the aphids on my little tomato plants?

The fastest and least toxic way is a good spray with your garden hose. To kill them without using chemicals, use Diatomatious Earth which can be purchased at any garden center, including Walmart. It's inexpensive and easy to use. You can also use lady bugs or praying mantis. Both are excellent killers of aphids.

Any insecticidal soap will work.
Reply:I had the same problem with one of my tomato plants. what I did was mix Joy dish washing soap ( just one or two squeezes with water and shake up in a spray bottle and sprayed the whole plant top to bottom and under the leaves too. let it sit for a few hours and rinse of with your hose I did that about every over day in till gone good luck!! the leaves curled up and looked funny, but it still growing and the tomatoes are looking plump and juicy!!!!
Reply:i mix Tabasco sauce with some water, apparently they dont like spicy food. I use this mix on every thing in my garden.
Reply:buy some lady bugs at your local garden center, they love to eat them
