These Fungus Gnat Larvae are busy eating my melon seeds...

I was wondering why so few of them were germinating and after a dig around this ☝️ is what I found 😣 It is the most likely cause of my luffa almost perishing too!

I have treated with nematodes now and will have to do it again in two weeks time, the infestation is so bad... One fungus gnat can lay eggs for 200 larvae each generation 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

They feed off organic material in the soil/compost and damaged roots of plants caused by over or under watering is a favourite. Which is why your seedlings might grow more slowly too!

Yeah... fungus gnats can do one this year...
