About a month ago you guys inspired me to grow some herbs, so I started with oregano and thyme.
My oregano has grown really well, but last week I noticed a serious red mite infestation. I never realised how important cecking for pests was, so the infestation was completely all over the plant.
I got some insecticide (soap salts of fatty acids) and it killed most of them, but they seem to linger around in the bottom. Since the plant is so bushy it's hard to get to them in the undergrowth under the leaves.
Is it worth trying to save the plant or should I just burn it? I've sprayed it three times in the past week and they still linger. There were some on the thyme, but since I got it early there were only a few and they haven't returned.
