I did buy some Bonide or Jacks concentrate that said it kills mites, but before I use it I am going to try and drown them with neem oil. Has anyone ever tried the Organocide 3 in 1 that uses Sesame Oil? I love my good bugs too much to kill them. I just learned this year what an assasin bug is and these soilders are in my garden and I am short on lady bugs... but I hate those lady bug coat wearing Mexican bean beetles. That's cheating...��
For the nutrients it has been a while since I fertilized so it's time anyway.
However it's now hit 90 degrees in Houston and I read bloom set may be over for a while. I figure I still need to feed the tomatoes fruits to grow large.
Lesson learned - I transplanted some tray fall seedlings and the Heat shriveled several up. I hope they will grow back. Also in March I drowned my tomatoes with topsoil mix and now using potting mix I can't water enough. I am thinking a potting soil (middle of road) will be better next year.
Man I have a whole new respect for farmers... this is some crazy stuff!!!
