Your a life saver... First time melon farmer and these pests are attacking my plants... Please make a vid to show us how to make our melon plants looks more plush... Thanks in advance
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!!!!!
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’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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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?
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.
@@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
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
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?
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..
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?
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.
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 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
Vegetable oil: 2tsp
