Oops this app won't let me correct. I saw a baby grasshopper couldn't get a pic. Can you use diatomaceous earth as a top dressing to kill insects without harm to soil? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
That's good shit, I'm using it to keep ants off my strawberry plants but IDK if it'll fuck up grasshoppers.
This stuff? I would like to use it in my soil I have it around my plants, there are quite a few pests. I have been using some stuff called green clean as a foilar. But these damn pests are eating the heck outta my baby girls. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Yep, that's it. Here's another product that cuts up small bugs: http://www.growstone.com/fungus-gnat-control/ It's just puffed glass so it's completely inert, I use this stuff indoors and the DE outdoors.
Do you use it as a top dressing? I heard you can dust your plants with it as well. They are young clones and healthy otherwise except for these damn bugs Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I don't think it will help. That stuff is used to keep insects like gnats from burrowing into your soil. Crickets will probably not come into contact with the layer of diatomaceous. You could give it a try though. Maybe it's not crickets, but caterpillars?
Yea, could be a variety of things eating away there, best to take multiple precautions. I don't know what you'd do to keep grasshoppers away, other than keeping a guard lizard like I saw earlier today http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1312274-lizard-grow-tent-ok.html
