Spider mites/aphids control

[ktrain]

I have been using when rooting my cuttings in doors.
At one time I did get spider mites pretty bad, but this helped.
I also used it outside since every year aphids would be all over my grape vines.
It's an option.

@"ktrain"#2 . Very interesting organic solution to Pest Control Kevin. I went looking for the active ingredient figuring it had to be spinosad, or pyrethoid based. Couldn't have been more wrong it's simply potassium salt of fatty acids mixed with a simple soap pretty much indistinguishable from hand soap. A completely simple. and elegant 100% organic solution that works. I will definitely try this in rotation for pest prevention next year. Plus it's a total, and easy DIY formula that can be mixed up in a jiffy. Great suggestion.

Yep why buy it, just mix it up at home.

There is actually spinosad in it too. It looks like the main ingredient is potassium salt of fatty acids and the second is spinosad.

My husband likes Bioadvanced 3 in 1. I like Bonide Captain Jacks tomato and vegetable. It’s a sulfur spray.
