The jar in the upper right corner is "Mite Juice"

1/4 cup Baking Soda
1/2 cup Apple Cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 drops dish detergent ( I use AN's Wet Betty)
1/4 Teaspoon Epsom Salts

Take a cup of very hot water and desolve the epsom salts,take rest of ingredients and place in a clean 2 liter bottle and let work out. Add epsom solution. Add water to fill to 48ozs(3/4 full).Shake well.

TO USE: Cover soil/medium with plastic,with lights off mist plant all over,especialy under leaves,
Wait 20 mins,then spritz off with clean fresh water shaking as much water off plant as you can.
The fresh water spritz rinse will remove the solution along with the desolved remains of the mites and their eggs.

Full plant dip, let set sideways so it doesnt drip on roots
rinse
plant

To avoid the "Dude, I wish I saw this earlier"
I'll post how we put the plot together

Basically the holes are 4x4, about 18" deep
Filled with Worm farm premium compost soil mix
A thorough laying of 1/4" dripper hose, the kind that leaks
and a topping of alfalfa

The posts have a 2 ft perpendicular piece screwed to the bottom for support before being burried

the drip line is better UNDER the alfalfa

due to gophers,
all the holes are getting sidewalls with a netting underneath to let roots through, gophers turn away

native soil is turned as deep as possible before topping w compost
