How’s it Fender??
just fyi but I’ve read that DE is not effective when wet.
hmm not sure on critter type for the necrotic spot, other stuff is chew marks which could be anything from field mouse to katydid or grasshopper….I’ve noticed as season changes to cold weather all kinds of species are coming indoors looking for food, shelter etc. and they are wearing camo
didn’t get a pic of it but noticed 2 weeks back the top of my soil was disturbed and there was a hole about an inch deep. Turns out a mouse was chowing down on roots, covered top of soil with 1/2 wire mesh then added crushed oyster shell and sand as top dress. Immediately set out mouse traps and have been thinning the herd
also had moth or caterpillar come indoors and lay eggs in my sticky buds a few weeks back too. There’s half dozen baby green worms up in there sunbathing
