Does anyone have any information on maintenance with bugs? I haven’t started my grow yet but I just need a little help with recommendations for any kind of repellent.
I've just used De-Gnat for the first time, its a natural mineral sourced from earths bullshit, it goes over ur medium (soil, coir) about 5cm covering. It basically sets a silicon layer, great for Alphids (Gnats) and even spider mite apparently!Does anyone have any information on maintenance with bugs?

I just got my hands on praying mantis egg sacs. Releasing them in my garden this week after they hatch.
You take them (the mason jar) out of the fridge and when they start hatching a wee later,you remove the screen lid and lay it sideways in your garden. If you don't do that as soon as they hatch, they'll eat each other. You get 150-200 babies and they will lay more eggs for the next years.Good luck, you picked the hardest one. Beasts if you can get them to adult stages.

Natural Insect Control, in Canada, sells them every spring and you can pre-order. Their staff entomoligist will recommend products if you send photos. They're my go-to for pest control.I just got my hands on praying mantis egg sacs. Releasing them in my garden this week after they hatch.
