Think iv a small mite problem!

I'v got Garlic and Marigold growing in my greenhouse and veg patch outside seem to be working for now.

Anybody know reasons why not to ???????

Or anything else to try ???????

Neem oil and insecticidal soap should be in every growers inventory. The marigolds or garlic are not going to keep your plants clean and might even attract pests that seek out these plants.

Was wondering if this actually worked. I was thinking of trying this in my grow room because I use it in my vegetable garden and it works wonders. But was curious of how it worked inside.

I think it's ed rosenthal's zero tolerance that contains mint oil (along with others), a friend of the womans brought some mint over she was growing in her garden, first thing I did is bust out the scope on it, sure enough found a mite.

Well bringing plants in from outside introduces more disease and pests sometimes...so that is no bueno...

I am wanting to know if companion planting works in a indoor grow room?? Mighty wash is all well and good but that wasn't what I was asking.
