Major miner problem

Posted by Maki Cook, ACT (My Page) on

My rocket leaves get a lot of leaf miners leaving squiggly doodles on them.

I've been spraying Dipel on the rockets and other veggies and this keeps white-butterfly larvae at bay but not the leaf miners.

Heard that it's difficult to eliminate once they're in but how do you prevent them from getting in?

RE: Major miner problem

I've heard that white oil is effective. Also natra soap. Both should be available from your local nursery.
