Here we go......
I've lived in this house for about 11 years, and have always had difficulty growing tomatoes and eggplant in the ground due to spider mites.
I gave up for a few years.
I thought that I might have better luck in AP, due to the humidity inherent to the media (supposedly they like dry conditions), and the fact that plants get less heat stressed in AP in general due to constant water supply. The system is outdoors.
so I tried again. The plant that I put in lasted many months, and thennnnnnn.....BAM! Spider mite crazy death infestation....I guess they crawled their little destructive selves up the legs of my system, or rode in on the wind.
I have a feeling that most sprays are also quite effective against fish.....
I have searched the forum, but most posts I found mention problems with them, but very few solutions.
So, does anybody have any tried and true methods for getting rid of these teeny tiny pains in my.....happiness.
I thought I remembered a conversation about wood alcohol, but it might have been for aphids.
