  • Use of a bag to enclose containers or rockwool blocks effectively blocks aphid and fungus gnats from inhabiting plant roots. An old approach with some new twists provides pesticide-free protection from root/media dwelling pests in soilless, organic and hydroponic cultivation schemes. Useful to anyone wishing to reduce the risk of both pests and pesticides at the same time.
