Get bugs to kill your bugs!
I moved everything into the tent for winter and turned loose 5,000 predatory mites. Phytoseiulus persimilis, 1,000 of them, for two-spotted spider mites. Shake them right onto the tips of the cactus. Amblyseius swirskii, 4,000 in hanging boxes all over the tent and they crawl around on their own.
Beneficial nematodes next week.
Mites came from @naturesgoodguys
