So last night I was reading about spider mites and I read they love fruit trees, blue spruce trees, veg gardens especially melons. My yard is full of all of these. I've been picking apples lately. I have a good feeling that's why I have them all of a sudden. I think I'm going to start a IPM for my indoor garden and my fruit trees and bushes. On my property I've got apple, peach, pear, plum, and cherry trees. Also blueberries, raspberry and shit loads of wild black berries in my wooded section. If what I read is true I have to make sure I'm not letting those get infested to or I'll never be able to keep my erb garden sterile
Natural predators keep things in balance outdoors.
We have about 30 acres with Fruit trees gardens spruce and all sorts of different trees (mostly black walnuts) in the wooded section. Black berries are everywhere - we have an open meadow with organized black berry clumps that are HUGE. I never see any evidence of pests on them.
The fruit trees and garden I will spray with Southern Ag - garden friendly fungicide to help with blossom end rot and PM which we get a lot of on the fruit trees.
Our apples are a Deer Attractant. We got a 16 point buck and a doe bigger than he is with a fawn that's bigger than most all the other deer. They LOVE Apples and our wild flower meadows.
Yeah the lady bugs work but they mostly move on to greener pastures after a short while.
They live a long time and can over winter. The more of them the better but they just wont stay where you want them too.
Your garden is looking mighty fine. Love me some dank ass nugs! Good job buddy.
What about dripping oils around the grow? I've been dropping tea tree oil around the house to keep the fleas back. Maybe neem in the rugs etc?
Spinosad does the trick for fleas and mites
Can spray your carpets lightly all you need. Vets been using spinosad tables for dogs and cat flea treatment for a few years now (1x a month tablet is good enough) but can do a light spray it will knock em to the curb. Try Montery Garden Spray - spinosad. 1 tbs to a gal of water for the fleas.
Oils are bad for flowering plants. It will burn the pistols and slow growth in flower and its smells like ass and tastes even worse. On the oils, you have to know what you are doing. Can burn plants completely mess them up if not careful.
Woody usually has russet mites - they are MUCH worse than Spider Mites. He's been growing weed for a long long time so he's seen it all. Good resource and a general great guy.
I had leaf hoppers this year on my clone table. They think pesticides are like taking a shower. They dont even blink. Leaf hoppers are bad. REAL bad.

Sorry Dank for not getting you a fast answer - I've been out in the fields cutting grass, trimming trees and hiking about.
