Dear growers, i noticed some aphids and red spider mites under the leaves. I am thinking to use neem oil as a solution. My plants are stage week 3-4. Any thoughts?

Erm yes you can use neem oil that would be a good short term long term though you want to look into predatory insects and the best one for both of those little buggers is pretty little lady birds not only do they look cool af they eat upto 50 mites of aphids per day and live upto 1.5 years with a good food source. They are alot really cheap any garden centre sells them live and you can even order them on the internet live straight to your door and on top of that it does not harm your plant one bit and is fully organic :) Best of luck

-Do you know what they could be?
Many thanks

Huge Slug ProblemHaving a huge slug problem at the moment. I looked up the species on the internet and they are known as the Hutt. I have tried using the Force but it won’t work on him. Does anyone have some (creative) ideas on how to get rid of a giant slug.
(Just a bit of fun)
