My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Growing Vegetables Inside - pests

Growing Vegetables Inside - pests


I took five cuttings from an heirloom brandywine tomato in
November. Stuck them in some media and soon had roots and then shoots.

About January I first noticed some tiny insects about 1.5mm long at
most. I have never seen any plump ones nor have I seen any webs.

Cuttings being in three inch pots it was easy to wash them off with the kitchen sink spray.

Then the frequency and number of insects increased and I bought some Neem Oil Extract Amazon and used it as directed.

Now my plants are overwhelmed. It is like I offered a free lunch or opened a soup kitchen for tiny insects.

What happened?
