Had fungus gnats, so I am reading and reading....
There are lots of posts regarding topdressing with a layer of sand to help fight off fungus gnats.
So, I go out and get some washed playsand from the local store and on the bag it says "use for pavers, playgrounds and gardening.
well, I get home and put a good 2" on top of the old pots and I am good to go right?
Today, I am inspecting the girls for spider mites (just to be on the safe side) and I see a shitload of these little granules on the leaves.
Is it just me or did I make a HUGE mistake?
aint no way I wanna be smokin silica granules and that sand says its 80% silica!! WTF
So, since that shits clearly not good for ya why is there a chitload of threads of using it in your soil mix for super soils?
Am I over reacting or what?
