Re: Bug and Pest Ridding Tips...
since we've started our "gheto garden" alot of our friends assume that we've got green thumbs and have brought us some seeds to sprout and dying plants to revive. One of the dying plants (infested gift in my gallery) was brought to me with some critters in the soil. I didn't even know they were there. I transplanted it from the container she brought it in and added some of my bagged potting soil. One day when watering, the soil started moving....ew. I'm hoping that these burrowing beetles are beneficial, but from the way the plant looked, I'm thinking they eat roots and are not a good thing to have in my container. The plant actually has some new growth and seems to be doing better in the bigger container after some pruning. Anyone know what these little black/brown beetle looking burrowers are?
