Ok so I was wondering why my seedling wont grow past the first 2 leafs sense its been like 2 or 3 weeks sense I planted it so I looked in the soil, it turns out anytime I get real close and kind of move dirt around different types of bugs are coming out everywhere, then they go back in.
So far I seen what looks like centipedes, worms, and what looks like a fly type bug with bright white wings and stuff in it. I got the dirt out of a old container that was being used for another plant. So its being reused. I figured the bugs were eating away the seedlings roots.
Ok so I paniced when I seen all the bugs and tried to remember home products to use to make the bugs go away so I sprinkled some gindger all over the dirt, and applied some black pepper too. So tell me if this was a good idea or bad. Also tell me other tricks to help! I'd appreciate it very much thank you!!! :)

you need NEW soil, clean Area. If your plant is outside it'll have bugs either way. Its cause you made a new home for the bugs in the old soil.

Agreed.

Time to clean down your room. Smoke bomb it and start again with clean sterilised soil.
