  • Aupa Jakoba. The apples that have been introduced this year, the lice or the “aphid” has caused tremendous damage. What would you advise? Xanti Aranburu (Ereñotzu)
(Argazkia: José Ballarín)

Aupa Xanti. Yes, this year there are lice! Careful with manure or N-rich fertilizer, that helps you a lot. The good opponents of the lice are the grandmothers mansas and the chrysops. They can be bought and disseminated. Use the waters of the following plants: sauce, lavender, tomato, caracolillo, vortex, garlic, fern, manure, avellano, avellano, casp herb and, above all, tobacco. Always add soap to your water, if possible potassium soap. Repeat treatment three times, with a difference of about eight days.
