The picture below from last year (taken August 8th) shows cucumber leaf with spider mites web in the middle. I started spraying with DE every time it rained or new leaves got bigger. Was picking cucumbers until October.
I grow organically, no harmful pesticides. Two year ago at the end of the season spider mites infestation was so bad my marigolds looked like I decorated them for a Halloween. I pulled tomatoes, other plants. It did not help. The Spider mites were everywhere. So when RobinB shared her method I was trilled. It worked, just have to be diligent and spray, do not procrastinate. That last part of the sentence is for me.
