did you ever verify "bugs" on the rhizosphere? Bayer tree and shrub at 1 ml/gal for an hour works wonders on aphids with no toxicity issues.

So things have been moving along nicely, until this morning woke up and noticed that all of the new growth was curling and mutated. But there is more, under further inspection I've noticed there is little black bugs in my roots and don't know what they are. Most likely root aphids but not sure, they look almost like ticks. I tried to get a picture of the bugs but my camera isn't good enough to focus on them.

So first off what do you guys think is up with the twisting and curling of the new growth? And if they are root aphids what do I need to get to get rid of these bastards?
