Ladybugs in action!

[Ilikeplants]

So i ordered a bunch of lady bugs to help tackle a gnat problem!

Fingers crossed this works as i want to do this all organic!

I will keep you guys updated on the results.

Iv also been deliberately keeping my soil dry as possible until today to help with the gnat problem and its definitely helped reduce numbers

Placing a healthy layer of sharp sand on top is just as good.

Update:

So the ladybugs have been a huge success and fixed my pest problems overnight.

Unfortunately that means they will not have much to eat so iv supplied them with some honey and raisons and refilled ther cotton pad with water.

They are more guard lady bugs now hopefully they can enjoy there sweet retirement
