Natural insect repellant
Sabre17started grow question 4 years ago
More of a comment then a question. I’ve had a lot a luck using cedar sawdust as mulch for plants. I grow a lot of veg and other Plants and it works really well to repel insects. All natural and smells great in the Garden.

Fresh sawdust consumes nitrogen. It should be left to cure, outdoors for at least a year, you can accelerate the process with moisture and some fertilizer with a lot of nitrogen to burn the carbon, close and wait at least 2 months.

Be careful, It can deplete the soil of nitrogen,
It can discourage beneficial bugs from residing in your garden,
It can make the soil more acidic

Fungus GnatsI've been battling a fungus gnat infestation for about 3 months now. Pretty sure they came from a bag of dirt I purchased online. I've tried DE and Monterey Garden Spray. Not sure what effect they are having on my grows, but they are annoying as hell.Other. Bugs

BUGS what are these? How did my plant get them? Where do they come from? How do I get rid of them? They have not been outside of the house: tent, garage, and tub only. The other plants do not show these, but I have separated them until I harvest just in case.Week 15
