Hello Everyone,
This is my first post here, I hope I am in "the right place"...I'm a newbie!
I noticed a few black aphids on one of my tomato plants this morning. I am companion gardening; basil w/tomato and want to keep it natural and organic.
My question: will lady bugs do the trick of getting rid of those aphids?
Thank you all!
Katherine

I saw some black aphids on a couple of our tomato plants this evening. I don't see any lady bugs. Good luck with your tomato plants.

Thank you for your wisdom! I didn't know about the Preying Mantis. The Aphids are disappearing.
Thanks again@
