Growing Broccoli

03 Apr 09 stacy (Australia - temperate climate)
My brocoli has come up with lovely big leaves, but unfortunately I have hundreds of little brown bugs all over the buds and underside of the leaves - I am told they are aphids. I have tried 1 part mild 10 parts water sprayed on them but no luck, they are still there. Any ideas as I really don't want to use pesticide !! Thanks Stacy
