Pesitcide/ Fungicide and their effect on people

[GrimLore]

Yeah, where you been hiding carpinus???
Good information.

While I have the floor, I have a question if I may, just to not start a new thread on mites... I have been finding what I think are spidermites, but only in my soils. Not really on the tree proper. Is this something else perhaps? Or do they inhabit the soil. I soaked with pyrethrin, hope that gets rid of them. They seem to like the environment that the decaying fertilizer provides, they are much more prevalent in these soils. On second thought, I'll post this in another thread, as I'd like to get some suggestions on how to deal with these, never had them before.

Honest I have not seen that variety as well, but I will tell you I treat all shelves and pots so I do not have to spray across the soils or rarely. We have pretty much a huge amount of insects where I am and I suspect when you added the crushed stone underlayment you will find "new" visitors... My advise from experience is treat the surfaces and you will have a LOT less of any lil pest

Stan hit it on the head, it's soil mites. The pyrethrin put them down for now. There were lots of them in some of the trees, like masses of them.
Sorry to disrupt this thread....
