soil bugs


Question
im having the same problem with my plants.SOILBUGS!!!What if my plant is to small to soak in the sink? Ive tried the sprays but they just keep on trucking and im sure its afecting the growth of my tomatoplants.

Answer
Dear Chris,

I had to laugh when I read that the bugs keep on trucking!  Obviously you have a good sense of humour.

If your plant is too small to soak in the sink then try using a bowl or basin.

What type of plant is it that is infected?

You mention tomato plants but I'm not sure if you mean that they have bugs too or you just feel they are being affected by the other plant.

Put the infected plant away from all other plants.  I would remove from its pot and shake off as much soil as possible and then repot in a clean pot with fresh compost.  If all fails then throw it away.  It's not worth keeping an infected plant as the bugs can pass on to other plants.  Good Luck
