Alright, can I ask everyone for a general overall consensus of 3 no til books? One preferably a dumbed down version so I can comprehend the other 2?

Also in the meantime of me learning general consensus of best soil / amendments basics ? I’m willing to toss anything I already bought to prevent future headaches

@brazel is back. Haha.

Fungus gnat larvae bother roots on plants because they eat the same fungus that benefits your plants by living on the roots. They actually outcompete fungus eating nematodes therefore the predatory nematodes who eat these fungus eating nematodes, disturbing the predatory nematodes who eat these other predatory nematodes, disturbing the larger predatory nematodes who pray on smaller predatory nematodes and fungus gnat larvae...and so on. This disturbs the whole cycle. Cover crop should come later IMO once you have developed a good food soil web. Why the absolute need for cover crop?

Remove your cover crop and tell me how the fungus gnat level dropped from that... open invitation!

The cover crop is key to SFW and the soil, plant. nitrogen fixers another plant on the fungi network, provides structure to soil, less watering.... etc... You know this, why you think different?

Word, I'd say you wouldn't want too prolong the decaying process.
Neem is good though, I've never really sprayed on my soil though, I don't have a reason why. I've just always used neem meal for soil.
