Right on, I may start saving up now to get some predators later on!I'm not so sure it's the plastic pots playing a part to be honest. I can't say for sure though.
Yeah the predators aren't cheap either. Wait until your next fresh start and get them added to the top of the soil when you do a final transplant. To be honest I haven't had much luck with the nematodes but I've only tried them once, the Stratiolaelaps Scimitus and Rove beetles I have used and I didn't see the gnats come back after but they didn't do a whole lot for thrips pupea as a treatment, but should still work well as preventative. Thrips are a lot worse than gnats though so with any luck that's all you will need 🍻
Jeremy from BAS has referenced several times having gnat issues in the first one or two runs with a no till living soil that ends up correcting its self later on once the biology really dials in.
I won't be no tilling though, I'll probably be dumping, re amending, and starting back in solos.
First I'll try to get me some spinosad, then I'll start saving for the predators 🤙🏻
