I think i have root aphids in some of my plants. Haven't had much time to check. I had aphids in my clone trays this spring and treated everything. Never had an issue with them outdoors before. I had a few plants that were not growing as they should. I looked at one of them and it had ants all over it. There Was a whole damn ecosystem on the plant. Praying mantis's. To me that means aphids. I think They could have been in the soil from last year feasting on the old roots because last year that container did horrible.
Im going to spray the plant itself with my usual mite cocktail. Forbid and avid. I haven't been on it like i should this year. But if i have root aphids outdoors, how the hell do i treat that much soil? I have seen a granulated bayer advanced for trees and shrubs. I would like to sprinkle it and water it in. Anyone have any luck with that?
Any suggestions you have, please remember that this is hundreds of yards of dirt. Unfortunately i have 7 gardens right next to each other and get cared for together that could easily be cross contaminated.
Thanks
