Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed your break.
Our garden tower has aphids! What should we do? We started thinking of possible solutions today: use a toxic chemical, trap them, add a natural predator, remove them one by one, leave them on and just wash the plants before eating the plants.
Here is some research to read about aphids: https://entomology.ca.uky.edu/files/efpdf1/ef103.pdf
OUR PLANT DATA SHEET that we will be filling in tomorrow. Our aphid inquiry discussion was so interesting we will measure tomorrow. And we will see if the water we added today perks up our plants, as they are wilting after the water ran low the past few days. Yikes! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IqQCSeKVABBwEeE4QQkIaIlcfOLn5rZ0qDaxg-AvEo8/edit?usp=sharing
