Doesn't cooking soil like that kill all microbes?Some of our richest soils are not only desired by us as growers, but bugs like them too. Any soil that has been sitting in a warehouse for a while, or worse, outdoors on a display rack, or that has traveled to its sales point in a dirty semi-trailer, is likely to have bugs, especially a rich organic soil. I have seen it said about Fox Farms Soils that they were known to have bugs in them, especially Ocean Forest, but we can't blame Fox Farms for this if we don't know also how the bags got from there to you and how they were stored.
I don't believe that my nutes had anything to do with causing this infestation. My watering practices actually killed off the last of the bugs in my mother plants who didn't get as much treatment for the disorder as the rest of the plants did... I wiped out the last of the larvae by coming very close to killing my plants by sending them into an extended drought and it was sad how droopy they got and how many leaves were lost... but they survived the ordeal and the bugs didn't.
The fault for the infestation was clearly mine. I saw a few fungus gnats as I was building the first containers out of the new bags of FFOF and FFHF, and in my haste and along with my oversized ego, I ignored the signs of disaster thinking that there was no way those bugs could defeat me... lol, famous last thoughts.
I broke my own rule that I set over a decade ago, and never had an infestation like this before now, because I knew that I needed to sterilize ANY soil that came into my garden from an outside source. Admittedly, I broke that rule a couple of times over the years, but it never bit me until now... not this badly anyway, and I got lax in my precautions and overlooked my rule. Trust me, for a good long time I will be using mosquito bits in my garden and every container I build from here on out will be with soil that has been sterilized at 225°F for 20 or 30 minutes, just to be sure.
Just curious; instead of using the mosquito bits could diatomaceous earth food grade sprinkled on the soil do the same thing? ThanksYeah, Tom Brady threw three interceptions last game, but still won it. I think he has been with Bellichek long enough to project what would Bellichek do? They're letting him call most of the plays from the huddle. Should be interesting!! I am surprised that Patrick Mahomes is as good as he is being so young! He can only get better.
So sorry to hear about work trouble! I hope you will land on your feet in the aftermath! You're a sharp cookie!
I've seen Tom do some pretty amazing things, and I don't think he's lost that fire. I think he'll win his seventh. But, I hate to predict the score. Happy Smokin'
yes, of course. Microbes and fungi are easily added back though, and some of them replicate every 20 minutes or so. This is not an issue.Doesn't cooking soil like that kill all microbes?
Hi @NoMorePharma and welcome to the forum!Just curious; instead of using the mosquito bits could diatomaceous earth food grade sprinkled on the soil do the same thing? Thanks
We will see about thatPD looks like they will be tall ones.
That's funny. I was thinking of Sara Connor when I typed that!Males will be terminated...
I can’t help but remember the scene in the original Terminator near the end where Sarah C. said “ You’re terminated f***er!”
