Any suggestions as to how to store your bagged soil? I have the remains of a 40# bag of composted cow manure and humus and want to make sure it remains "clean" for next use. I recently glanced into the bag and noticed a small spider hanging out, and at least one white flea like bug (looking at the two insect descriptions I gave... I'll assume the second is a spider mite :jointsmile. I lightly sprayed the soil surface with a neem oil solution and left the bag open so it gets air. I don't want to store infested soil indoors, but it seems more succeptable to insects if stored outdoors. Also, if it is inevitable that the soil will become a home for pests, is there something you can treat it with prior to its next use? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
