    So, on one side of my yard I found a nasty infestation of spider mites and white flies. This is one of those side yards you kind of forget about.

    So I got my Myco Blast delivered today and started thinking. What about all my hydro stuff? Would this work in maybe the drip systems as the roots are clinging around the media. I might not just use this on my raised beds. Anyone tried this?
