Does diatomaceous earth not work well for aphids?
It didn't work well for me.
Interesting, I'll have to keep that in mind and do some research if I ever have aphid issues, I'm newer to plants and thats about all I have for managing pests right now
Thanks for your thoughts ☺️
I’ve never used it so I’m not an expert, but doesn’t diatomaceous earth have to be fairly dry to be effective? Maybe I over water my garden but I think that might be an issue for me.
Yeah thats fair, I use it for plants in containers and I usually put it around the outside walls of the pot and sometimes on the leaves
I live in an apartment so its all potted plants for me
