I don't know if this means much to others but my springtails are back. Which to me is good, I know some people get really large numbers of them and freak, but I have never had that problem. I also have heard they are actually a sign of things being in balance. I had first noticed them a couple years ago when someone gifted a mom to me and at first i freaked but then found out what they are really about. Actually most of it I learned from a thread on here that Seamaiden had posted to and let some people know what was what with these little critters. So anyway I am happy to see them back. Anyway, to make a long story short, I have not seen them in a very long time in my soil plants. I found them happily rooting around and aerating the soil for me and I was very glad. I can't say for sure that it is from starting to use Caps Bennies but it sure is awful freaking coincindental.
All fungus gnats are now gone for sure. I did a very very good inspection. I did find out that if I would have tried your tea in that one table that I never could get right I would have saved it. Tonight, just to make sure I didn't have Root Aphids going on, i went outside and got the bag with all the plant bases in it and went over it with one of those pocket microscopes. I found an extremely gross amount of gnat larvae, which had tunneled into the base of the main stem, right above top of root ball which was also a little above the flood line, so i am thinking that made it soft enough for them to do that. I did not know that the larvae could burrow. I thought they just ate roots, not burrowed into stems. Live and learn.
Feeling stoked about starting my tables up running the tea for sure now.
