sure thing JJ I have to get aloe and avid . I have azamax. Ty Stix said to use it right away not to leave the mixture sitting. so I can get with you the first part of next week . I want to get the ground and surrounding area sprayed so I can start hauling in compost while the weather is good.

I think when their underwatered they will be uptaking what ever is watered in better. But I think a dryer plant makes it easier for the bugs to get in there, the surface would be softer.

FIRE- Nuggs- Fire. my personal solution. good, thorough, control burn, and H2o2 rinses after, reintroduce healthy organic matter the following early spring. takes 1 season off the calendar though.




I happen to agree a bit more with the video below- Cinnamon like i said before, try his cycles of treatment if you like.

Yeah Mikey I listened to this last year when I was infested. He seems to know what he's talking about. Cinnamon I'd forgotten about. I think I will spread it instead of DE before and after planting.
My theory is now my garden area is clean. No soil in my boxes at all and the area around my planters is raked clean no grass and been bleached twice. I'm going to spray avid around the perimeter before bringing in new soil for the boxes. it'll never touch a plant so I should be good.
I like the Idea of the cinnamon. I can't take a season off. I've had two ruff years in a row already.
Thanks for your in put .

I'm gonna try mixing up some DE in water & see if I can spray it thru my Hudson bug sprayer....otherwise I may buy a 'backpack sprayer, they have both wet/dry attachments....DE will get sprayed everywhere!!

de is worthless once wet. It's recommended to actually toss it in the air on a windy day to spread it. If you use ur fogger it would be like trying to shoot pancake batter out of it.

I'm fighting russets as well... throw organocide into your spray rotation, it seems to be helping. Also, as a test i took a small rooted cut which was infested and placed it outside (I'm in the rockies, temps outside were in the 20's) left the plant outside for about 30-40 mins, chopped some leaves and every one of those 4 leggers i could get under scope werent moving....

Ice baths have been recommended to nuggs, using ice water and ice cubes themselves to scrub the leaves. I have used that method for getting rid of spidermites a few times. for now, there aren't any plants there right, I think he is more worried about making sure he doesn't get infested again once he does put plants back out there.
