OMG, Aphids!

Wowzers, do I have aphids in my vertical plant stand.  There are a million of them.  So I was reading up on all the natural ways to get rid of them, besides just washing your lettuce REALLY REALLY well.   I've decided on 1) companion planting, 2) sticky traps, and 3) potentially some lady bugs.  Below are some pictures of the aphids and sticky traps.  I ordered some marigold seeds, and am standing by for delivery.  Also, I may goto the nursery tomorrow and grab some lady bugs....
