Oaks pines should be safe ,plums oranges most vegetables are not .I'm doing o k friend but h ow long will it last with a tree that full of broad mites I actually can see why I wasn't growing well there's bugs by the millions on those cherry plums.Plants looking good man that's nice to see.
So do the mites seem to prefer the deciduous trees or are they affecting the conifers too?
Hey bud... I found these mites that will eat all your bad mites.Oaks pines should be safe ,plums oranges most vegetables are not .I'm doing o k friend but h ow long will it last with a tree that full of broad mites I actually can see why I wasn't growing well there's bugs by the millions on those cherry plums.
Yes it is friend it's an absolute nightmare nothing grows like it used to an it's heartbreaking.I'm hoping for a cold winter to kill em off outside an I can start next year at full potential outdoors .I have had to pretty much keep heat treating an if I open the greenie I see signs of broads immediately .I can keep em back but with a tree producing millions I'm doomed eventually unless I kill the trees .That's terrifying...![]()
Been thinking about buying them close to flower but I have to keep my humidity up an temps right for them an that would be a major challenge in June ,July .I'm hoping that around August September I will be able to drop some swiirski an andersoni an possibly a couple more predatory mites .Friend I wouldn't wish these things on my worst enemy the only positive is I have learned as much as there is to know about destructive agricultural mites from books an experience .A part of my growing journey I must need to experience everything happens for a reasonHey bud... I found these mites that will eat all your bad mites.
There were other predator mites
as well. But this one ate them all.![]()
