What is a powerful helper in the garden, eating plenty of aphids? I have a big vegetable garden and I usually buy 5000 ladybugs each planting season. The trick is to free them over your vegetables at night. With the cold, they move very little or hibernate. In the morning, adult ladybugs lay eggs and fly away. Baby ladybugs or larvae stay grow and eat aphids in their environment. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ws_D5nXOAJg<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
