I am often asked if I spray my herbs. My answer is yes, but only when necessary, and only for individual plant problems. Here is an example. I have 1 sweet marjoram with spider mites. I will spray that 1 only and separate it from the others. The ones with no mite problems will not be sprayed. Pictures show 3 plants. 1with, and 2 without mites. The second Pic shows the mites on the affected plant. They are very small! Notice how the leaves on the affected plant look a little fuzzy and white. This is a classic indication of spider mites.
I love and encourage my pollinators and use no weedkillers at all. Or pesticides except for individual necessities.
