I have been adding about 1/2 cup of DE with each watering (2x week) and have been dusting the main stem with DE as a preventative. I do have sulfur powder to use as a soil drench on standby but I don’t think I will need it. I don’t see any root damage to the new growth so I either killed the the bulb mites or have significantly reduced their numbers.
Honestly, I think I could could have just did an H202 and DE soil drench in the beginning (skipping the neem oil) and continue to follow up adding DE with each watering. Typically, horticultural oil shouldn’t be used as a soil drench but I was experimenting.
