Spider Mites on Strawberry Pot Strawberries
I've recently had an outbreak of spider mites on several of the plants
in my strawberry pot. I tried a neem oil spray, but I've still got a
lot of the mites and I don't want to kill my plants with the spray.
I've read that moisture is bad for spider mites, so I'm spraying the
plants with water from a spray bottle several times a day.
Is the water alone likely to be an effective control for the spider
mites? Should I continue to use the neem oil? How often? Is there
something else I can do to get rid of the mites? I don't want to
spend a lot on one remedy after another, so if there is something that
will be effective I'd like to go straight to that.
