Question of the Week:
“I enjoy and use your book, but I’ve got a problem that
the book doesn’t address. 
My 9 orchids are planted in bark. I’ve found that gnats enjoy that medium as much as the orchids. I’ve got hundreds of them in and flying around the pots. I’m trying to kill them off with insecticidal soap. Will the soap injure the orchid plants? Is there something else that’s more effective? I just don’t have the time to stand around trying kill off each one with a shot of spray. Thanks.”
