White flies have a 3-5 day life cycle. Spray the plant and soil with pesticide that lists white flies every 3 days for at least one week and they will be gone.

Get a sturdy 30 gallon barrel with a lid to keep rain and critters out. If the lid is air tight, fix it so the barrel can "breathe". Drill some 1/4 inch holes in the bottom center for drainage into a pan to catch the tea. Take it easy on the manure. The majority of material should be coarsely shredded fresh plant cuttings. Add alfalfa meal or cut alfalfa to speed the process. Each time you finish draining or add material roll the barrel around to mix the contents.
