@@@BeanswithPork, I think the gnats prolly just get too fucked up off of that 'shine to find their way out of the soil...😁

@@BeanswithPork, will keep this in my mind :) Gnats are little fuckers. with their eggs in the soil 😡😤👿

@@Aiiogrow,yep. Just to be clear: its an ethyl group alcohol, just typical moonshine you make in a traditional still. Fractionally distilled to 90+% ABV. It seems to have saturated and killed the mites with regular spraying, especially under the leaves. If it gets really wet it does need some air circulation/fan breeze. It doesn’t evaporate that fast that it can’t cause damage if soaked. It does kill gnats on contact, but it seems to be more effective at discouraging them more than anything. That, combined with other measures, also worked with gnats. Like if you water and have flies that emerge, you can have the alcohol spray ready to fire. It will kill some, injure some, discourage some, etc. It is a consumable though, I went through alot getting on top of all the problems. You have to be content making large quantities, which my source is.

@@BeanswithPork, 🙏 Will try that next time I dabble with soil.

@TheUsualSuspect, I noticed the soil matters, alot. A really light, good draining soil with small particle size is perfect. If it has mycorrhizae its a bonus (otherwise gotta add microlife). That has to be the bulk lest you risk poor drainage, too much nutrient, other problems. It also has to be available in bulk and affordable. Sunshine Soil #4 or HP ProMix soil is reliable. Mostly peat moss and perlite.
