Last one. Sorry for being greedy. My 7 junipers have the same little white squirmy bugs in the soil along with what looks like quarter inch centipedes running around. Is Neem oil going to fix all this? These guys are inside the soil. Are there other organic products I can use? I humbly await any advice. 🥹🪳🕷️

Might be springtails. While they are beneficial they can be in large amounts that hurt by eating roots of saplings or smaller plants. They probably won’t hurt your juniper. If you do want to get rid of them Neem oil or diatomaceous earth.

That D word sounds like some kind of dinosaur 🦕. It’s time to sit down and do a little research 🧐. You’re a gem. I’d be so lost without your responses. 🥴
