Aphids

Some of my plants have aphids.  My tea plant, brussle sprouts, and bok choi are the ones that I noticed with aphids. I tried spraying them with insect killing soap.  The active ingredient is potassium salts of fatty acids.  It seems to have worked as long as the plants got good coverage.  I will check them again in a couple of days, and spray again as necessary.  The label says that it should be used every 5-7 days.  The soap also says that crops that are sprayed can be consumed at any point after spraying as long as they are washed off.
