Alright guys, Ive been doing my research here and have a couple of questions.

Ive really not put a lot of thought into this yet, but had a couple preliminary questions.

Ive read that pests, especially spidermites are a problem here. One guy reccommended buying praying mantis eggs and allowing a colony of praying mantis patrol and help protect the crops. Anyone have any experience with this?

Also, Ive read that some people reccommend watering 2 times per day, however I thought watering once per night would be sufficient. Again, Your opinions. It does get about 105 consistantly, and sometimes hotter.

Finally, I do plan on actually tilling up the soil a bit before I plant the seeds, but should I even worry about nutrients? This will be my first ever growing attempt. But the soil here seems prettyy fertile.

Any suggestions/ tips for a newbie are greatly appreciated, especially regarding the Praying Mantis idea.

Thanks Guys
