Hello There,

I am new here and this is my first post.

I have been observing very tiny white bugs in the soil from the last 2 days. They are running all over the soil and hiding into soil. They are not flying. I am unable to capture them also. I didn't see them on the plants. They are just running in the soil. Plants are not infected and they are healthy for now.

a little more information, for the last 2 days, there was heavy rains. Is it the reason?

Do i need to worry? if yes, is there any organic fertilizer that I can use?

Thank you in advance,

Regards,
Krrish

I'm not familiar with the insect life in your part of the World, but I would say that most "bugs" are harmless.

I'm not sure either, but as long as your plants are doing fine l wouldn't worry. They may just be a temporary stage of something.

I've been digging up my garden in preparation for planting. I'm always surprised by how many beetles and bugs are living in the soil! I avoid harming them as l assume most are benign, or like worms, actually beneficial.
