Thanks for making a summary. I think that all UA-camrs need to do such summary in their videos. If English is not your native language, you may miss some important information
Just to let you know I had some Leaf Miner problems on my tomato plants and I applied this solution and BINGO no more leaf minor problems. Don't know what happened but it stopped So YES I can tell you it works! Thanks so much. Cant wait for you to return to do what you do best. Cheers
It works, I do this. I make mine with Dr Bronners Castile Soap and non-gmo oil. My lemon tree was inundated with leaf miner attacking every single new leaf trying to grow. For three weeks, one time a week (I chose Wednesdays) I sprayed my lemon tree thoroughly top and undersides, then after two days I rinsed off the soap/oil spray with clear water from my hose. I repeated this process every week for three weeks and now today the new leaves popping out are not being attacked but growing nicely. In the process of this I saw many clear, round tiny eggs on the leaves and would squish those with my fingers. The process needs to be repeated so as the eggs hatch those babies are also smothered with the oil/soap spray.
Thank you for the tips! My lemon tree is suffering from leaf miners and I had to stay going outside everyday to remove the infected leaves but now they are under control. Thanks soooo much!!!!!

Your video was well done, thank you. So far, after searching numerous leaf miner issue videos, none have explained and shown the before and after application. It is the first video that I have seen.
I’m glad I found you. I didn’t know my watermelon vines have this but I stumbled on this video by accident. You just saved this first time gardeners plants:) follow for sure
I used this solution on our tomatoes, oregano, basil, papaya, peas, green beans, I sprayed every plant in the garden just before sundown. We got home from work and half of our plants were stressed, looking as if they had chemical burns. We live in central Florida and the sun took a toll on our plants. We are hoping they will recover after giving all plants a good clean water wash. We have been fighting our leaf miner infestation for 1-2 months (using Neem Oil). My wife almost kill me because I kill the garden. Thank God she she has His values and she still loves me. I'll use this solution to kill the weeds in the yard from now on.
Thanks for your comments, we're in zone 9a Williston Fla , never knew what a leaf miner was but it seems we always have them ... keep me posted as to your progress concerning this issue
In the deep south, with hot sun, oil is not recommended, I use spinosad, per recommendation from my local extention.. It may take a few applications, but will not burn your plants.
I saw this pattern on my cabbage leaf and didn't know what it was. I literally paused the video and went outside to confirm. I crushed or removed some leaves. I'll be applying the spray mixture tonight.
Great information on oil soap mix. The great thing about the spray or ( neem oil spray which is easy and natural) is that by spraying the plants it disrupts their life cycle during the larva stage. Basically the larva already in the plant will not be disturbed but when they drop into the soil and finish their cycle to adulthood the eggs they lay in the future will hatch an eat the leaf with the oil on it and die then. Also leaf miners very rarely kill plants especially if you feed and water your plants regularly. The best defense against these pests is a healthy plant.
Thank you for this! It was straight to the point, and I liked the fact that you showed the entire process of spraying and the results. I'd just like to ask, since leaf miners attacked my seedlings which only have 2 leaves on them, would I still need to pull these leaves or cut them out? I need these for my grade in class so I'm quite concerned. THank you very much!
Omg my Niece's tomato plant had that too but I thought it was nothing. Im glad I saw this video. Well I think it is the miners, it looks similar to it. thank you
These little buggers I just noticed today on my just getting started tomato plants. Went on line and found out what it was and also that it could effect my Marigolds. Sure enuf they were getting attacked too. A little more digging and up came Project Diaries! Since it was easier to just take off the effected leaves, that's what I did. But also sprayed the Tom's and put them back out side! Thanks again for the help!
I am glad I came across your video's I will be growing a few tomato plants for the first time in large pots this year. I will use this solution to try and prevent leaf minor.
Only just have I discovered leaf miners on my toms. Thanks for this video. An easy and inexpensive fix for slugs: pour some cheap beer into a wide, shallow pan and set in the garden. The slugs crawl in but they don't crawl out. A pie dish works well for this.
Man, am I glad this is here! And I'm glad this uses ingredients I have on hand! In addition to leaf miners, I'm starting to see aphids, and caterpillars are just plowing through my greens. Ugh! I'm wondering, could I possibly combine BT, neem oil and the treatment demonstrated in this video all in one sprayer, or should I do one in the early morning and follow with another remedy at dusk?
Thank you, I really enjoyed this💯🎯 your vlog on PC and leaf miners has been tremendously helpful for my nasturtium, morning glory and Marigold plants... your direct to the point, no chit chat is just epic...i'm totally subscribed and hooked. Fantastic vlog👌🏾💝💕💕. Much appreciation from London UK.👏🏾👏🏾 Are you in UK?
Thank you so much. Actually I have been planting for quite sometime but always aphids and beetles problems, never this thing called leaf miner. Now they have come to attack my vegetables especially my basil. Will definitely try your solution. Thanks.
Thanks for the information shared. I can now identify and treat my infestation. What is ur treatment schedule like? Also how do u prevent this infestation from happening in the 1st place?
Thanks a lot for this. I've been searching online because I have leaf miners in my tomatoes and I didn't know what they were at first. Now I know what to do, and I can finally post a video update of my tomatoes with fruits anytime soon! PS: I just subscribed :)
Hello! I have citrus trees that have been covered in leaf miner damaged leaves and I can see the actual moths. Do I need to pull all the affected leaves off? Will this work on the moths as well?
Hi ; must have seen almost all your videos; have one query not related to this topic , can we use neem oil spray in tomato plants or other vegetables plant once it is in flowering stage ; if not then how to control pests in flowering stage of tomato plant
Hi thank you for this video. I will try on my crops. I have a question whether it will work for aphids on my cabbage..? Greatly appreciate your feedback
Nice video you've made. You really make follow ups on what you were doing to your plants, so i would really say it works. I would give it a try. Thanks..
@@samruthak4356 Hi! the leaf miners had disappeared from my garden and indoor growing system like a miracle since last time.... but ive been using this kinda spray for aphids, seems to work a bit
Well, now I can fix the leaf miner! I have another problem though. My Citrus leaves are curling. There are too many to just pick off so I'm wondering if you have any ideas as to how I can stop it? Thank you for the videos, I love your channel. Cheers from Australia!
your soil is lacking potassium or it is too acidic ... wood ash will help. put a good layer of woodash like two centimeters thick or so. also be sure your citrus tree root crown is elevated from the surface level of dirt .. the tree will not die in such a way.
MaoMao Mao do not use vegetable oils on baby plants as the leaves are pretty sensitive and might burn even with a light application.Use a garlic spray or fermented buttermilk spray rather diluted one.spray only after the sun sets when temperature is not that high and before spraying bathe the plant in water thoroughly spraying at each leaf.Happy Gardening
These bugs destroyed all my zinnias and everything else they could, tomatoes, mint, watermelon, zucchini, sweet potatoes, sage, and more. Got read of my zinnias they were too infested. I’m trying to find out if the soil where these plants are/were is usable or do I need to get read of it and use new soil. How does it spread?
I noticed it on a leaf of my Thai eggplant. But before I had the leafminer on the leaf, I noticed that 2 cm of the main stem (the part just above the soil) was being eaten by something I do not know what that it made me panic. I felt that the seedling itself will break at the part where the stem was thinned by that pest. Would the leafminer also do that on the main stem? If not what could the cause be and how do I solve it? At that time, I replanted it and buried that part. Then after a few days, the leafminer appeared.
I'm gonna do this for my basil, should I "wash" it after spraying? or do I just keep it? Also how soon after buying a plant should I repot it? it's out of shape and the roots are going crazy
My boxwoods are crackling like mad all around my home. I'll give this a try today and comment back on my success, fingers crossed. Thank you! By chance, are you a left-handed guitarist? I'm asking because I noticed your nails.
Project Diaries know this is old thread but for anyone watching now I would suggest working neem meal into the soil if going to reuse as leaf miner cocoons will overwinter in soil
Be careful with using any oils though where you have super hot sunny conditions. Cooking oil, mineral oil and Neem oil all have been known to cause sunburn (just like they would if applied to your skin before you went out in the sun) so try to time your spraying on an evening before an upcoming overcast day. I just saw a video where Neem Oil spray caused a lot of sunburned leaves.
Leaf miners ate the leaves of my melon that caused it to die. I'm planting melons again with this method. I'm hoping my melons are gonna be free from pests.
My zucchini plant has a lot of big green leaves Would it hurt the plant to remove some of these leaves so the pollinators can see the yellow flowers under these leaves?
I find that using any oil mixture on my plants create severe sunburn, and there's no way to wash it off once it's on you have to let it take its course and with these delicate leaves even the humidity alone in Ontario burns after I tried oil. I guess it just depends on where you live?
I thought this spray kills insects on contact. How then does it prevent leaf miner? Does it penetrate the leaves? I've never seen the moth that lays the eggs, just the larvae that does the damage. So don't understand how a non systemic spray would work.
My tomato plants were growing really really well, and then the leaf miners started to become a problem, so I kept removing the leaves but now they’re spreading like wildfire and don’t have as many leaves now and the growth has slowed down considerably. Where did sooo many eggs come from anyway?? I’m very sad :’( I’m going to try this. I really really hope it works for me.
thanks for this well need info I have some damage from this culprit but didn't know Wat it was , so I tried blending onion , garlic n pepper with a little dish soap to spray n it help for some time n came back but now I know I will spray more often n add the oil see how well tht will go .
Ashish Pandey Hi, my tomato plants also suffering from leaf miner. Is this really works??? Any particular time to spray on plant..I mean in sunlight or should use in evening??? And how many times can use in a week ??? Thanks
I use this.... In my french coffee press put Hot peppers, dried and crushed Garlic cloves, crushed Couple leaves of sage Pour in boiling water Let sit till cool Never add any kind of soap...ever Strain through fabric Put in sprayer diluted by half Add a couple drops of olive oil Spray freely. No garden pests like this Please never use anything you wouldn't eat
