#perlite

Today's gardening work almost done!

Repotted some of the seedlings using the mix of #compst (2 parts) coco peat (2 parts) and #Perlite (one part) after the soil was microwaved to kill any soil gnats.

I have about 17 tiny Tim midget #tomatoes. 6 Armenian #cucumbers, 6 small cucumbers, 8 beef tomatoes and several #peppers and #spinach (not in these pictures).

Running out of space and soon I am hoping to be able to move everything out on the #balcony.

Moving to nuclear option in fight against soil #gnats.

Need to make a few nursery pots and mixing compost with Coco peat , but put the mix in the microwave for 3-4 minutes at a time before mixing the #Perlite.

So sick of gnats eating the roots of my #seedlings and killing them, not to mention the annoying black "flies" buzzing around all the time and going for my nose when I'm in bed.

I'm also adding soapy water with #NeemOil mix to the soil before putting the seedlings in.

Not taking any chances, this is war....
