So instead I turn to fedi!

Hello #FediGarden folks! At least in the US, what is your favorite treatment against spider mites and aphids, preferably kudzu bugs too, as well as blights? My tomatoes frequently end up suffering from Southern Blight, and I've swapped soil entirely and sanitizer potting but it comes back.

It may be as simple as "treat more often", but advice on sprayers/solutions would be extremely helpful. Planning to grow herbs, tomatoes, peppers, and decoratives.

Another #AskFedi question.

I understand that it's not a great idea to grow potted houseplants in garden compost, so one recommendation is apparently to use an inert substrate like coconut fibre, fertilised with organic liquid fertiliser like nettle tea.

So, on to the question: buying coconut coir bricks. Is that a healthy and sustainable thing to do? Or is there something terrible about them that I am missing?

Two new trees added because a lawn is useless anyhow.
