Welcome back to Hydroponics Daily, where today’s episode dives into the world of clover mites. These bright red mites are often mistaken for the more problematic red spider mites, but they belong to an entirely different species. While clover mites are usually seen on lawns, walls, and stones, red spider mites are a known pest for crops, particularly in greenhouse and indoor hydroponic settings. Despite their appearance, clover mites pose no significant threat to plants and generally stay outdoors, rarely causing indoor infestations. Host [Name] explains how these harmless mites are often wrongly feared and discusses why there's no need to eliminate them unless they're causing real problems. Tune in to discover the difference between these two mites and learn why embracing nature’s diversity is the best approach. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/pesticides-organic/eutrema-insecticidal-soap-sodium-free/

It's Tuesday 13 May 2025: welcome to today's episode. Beautiful sunshine but still no rain. I'm running low on water so it's a bit of a tense time. Tonight I'm on the plot talking about how I'm managing my seedlings in the hot and dry conditions. Some plants are doing fine but I really wish I had more water right now.The digger man is booked for tomorrow and I'm very excited. Having more turf lifted will double my planting area so I can't wait but I'm slightly holding my breath until he arrives and does the work. The dahlias are outside now and doing really well. I've found some gall on one of the tubers which is disappointing but not the end of the world. More seedlings have been planted out but now watering them is becoming a bit scary: do I have enough water to last until it rains? I also talk about an idea I've just heard on another podcast about selling single varieties of stems at local markets rather than mixed bouquets so I'm giving serious thought to doing this. It's an extremely busy time and there's alot going on. I do hope you enjoy the episode. In this episode, join me for an update on the plot. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ How the dahlias are doing ✅ Why I've just mulched my Verbena bonariensis✅ Dahlia gall: what to do with infected plants and tubers ✅ Why you should buy good quality hosepipe fittings  ✅ Thoughts on selling at my local market ✅  Digger man update  🌻 Follow & Stay Connected!If you like what you hear, please follow the podcast so you never miss an episode.

Sometimes experiences in youth mold us more than we know.  Brian saw the effects that drugs were having on some of those around him at a young age and decided a career in law enforcement was what he wanted.  With a few degrees in criminal justice and human resources under his belt, he began as a local police officer but the next step was closer than he realized.  Fast forward 23 years and Brian was ending his career as a DEA Supervisory Agent.  This interview is as solid as it gets and at times, is a bit raw; thats life.  We discuss the addiction epidemic, Drug cartels, the supply and demand side of the drug problem, DEA pay, beneficial skillsets, and what a DEA agent will do to infiltrate and disrupt the drug scourge on our society.  We also discuss Brians work in training and drug education after his long career with the DEA.  Brians links can be found below.  Thanks Brian! Brian can be found at www.eagle6training.com or www.only2mg.comIf you found this episode enjoyable/helpful and would like to support the show, you can do so HERE.  Thanks!
