Bug found in water tray of new plants.
Hi all,
I started plants from seed and have them growing on my kitchen floor, under a grow light, some are very small 1/4" to 6" tall. I accidentally over watered one tray of plants, so I moved them to a dry tray. In the flooded tray was one bug that looks like a Silverfish to me. I will post a pic of it in alt.binaries.pictures.gardens soon. I believe the bug must have been in the planting mix I used. Due to the shape of the watering tray, I do not think that this bug crawled into the tray. Should I be concerned? Should I treat the plants or the watering tray with pesticide? Cheers, Jim |

Cheers, Jim This is a snore. Ignore it unless you see a dozen more in the exact same way. |
