If you are not careful Recycled soil can be colonized by root aphids. What can we do to keep them away?
I will be inoculating my medium with the entomopathogenic nematode steinerama feltiae I have never used these before, but I have seen them mentioned in the many root aphid threads here on icmag. Failing that I intend to try the parasitic fungus beauvaria bassiana, which I have used before to control fungus gnats, with some success.
Depending on the results I will update the biological control index and the IPM thread! Any suggestions from other organic mechanics, please post?
