those look like thrips, do they look like a snails trail? silver in color?they suck the chlorophyl out the plant. they are a pain in the ass to get rid of, soap only kills the adults and they lay eggs in soil, but your in rw and clay, so im not so sure, anyhows foxfarms makes a spray called "dont bug me" aside from rotenone pyrthrins which is very harsh but effective, get the dont bug me, it has pyrithrium in it and doesnt have a hardcore chem smell, works great on all my outdoor tomatoes and cucumbers, you can feel safe applying to edibles
