Soil mites can be a nuisance for gardeners. Here are simple and effective methods to get rid of them:
- Remove Organic Debris: Clear fallen leaves, dead plants, and other organic debris from your soil regularly.
- Use Neem Oil: Mix neem oil with water and spray it onto the soil to naturally repel mites.
- Introduce Beneficial Insects: Ladybugs and predatory mites can help control soil mite populations.
- Diatomaceous Earth: Sprinkle diatomaceous earth on the soil surface to kill mites without harming plants.
- Maintain Proper Soil Moisture: Avoid overwatering as moist conditions promote mite growth.
