- jmheflin 6y agoTry to let the soil/media dry out between waterings. I use yellow sticky traps and neem oil for plants I am going to eat. For ornamentals, I use Marathon 1%, shake a bit on the soil every 2 weeks or so.

- jmheflin 6y agoYes this is possible! Usually done with repurposed clean room pass thrus. It becomes harder to achieve as greenhouses get to 1+ acres in footprint.
