How Root Aphids Invaded My DWC Garden Part. 1

Yes, I know I have soil next to hydro, a big no-no. But in this case I believe its because of these Grodan cubes. I noticed little black specs in the fibers. At first I blew it off thinking it was some sediment material. Then I broke out my microscope and clearly saw eggs and other bugs infesting the cubes. The real revelation was when I discovered the aphids clinging to the new root sprouts on my clone cubes, and after I had just cleaned everything! The package was sealed to my knowledge but could have had a tiny hole in it. Stay tuned as I will post my control methods shortly :) I may have an awesome treat for DWC gardeners.
