Ah, aphids! A common nuisance. For basil, you can often just spray them off with a strong stream of water. For a more persistent problem, try a neem oil spray – it's organic and effective.

Definitely. Fertilizing every few weeks can make a big difference, especially for heavy feeders like tomatoes. Also, 'pruning' off the suckers on tomato plants helps direct energy to the fruit. There's a good demo video on the garden's website for that, too.

当然。每隔几周施肥可以带来很大的不同，特别是对于像番茄这样需要大量养分的作物。此外，修剪番茄植株的侧芽有助于将能量导向果实。花园的网站上也有一个很好的演示视频。
