aphids were the first on the list,lol
Indeed, but there are some 30 different types of aphids and root aphids weren't mentioned by Grizzly, just your standard "above ground" aphids that have a way different appearance. Been there, know what to look for. Thought it would be best to know as exactly as possible which specific beastie I'm dealing with.
As it appears to be root aphids some consensus on these boards seems to be Azamax and BotaniGard/Mycotrol O drenching for the flowering girls and adding Bayer Fruit, Citrus & Vegetable Insect Control (Imidacloprid) to the Veg and Moms reservoirs as a prophylactic. But then somebody else chimes in and says "you're an idiot, lol, what you should do is......"
When you start looking around for useful information its weird how many of these threads (on almost every board) break down into bickering and point scoring--making it even harder to get helpful information.
Hopping down off the soapbox its time to go annihilate some bugs!
