I am curious if anyone has tried something my mom and I used to use on our azaleas who seem to be a favorite food of spider mites. Upon finding the infestation of course we used the poison spray (not acceptable on something I might ingest) but we followed up with a natural remedy that was extremely effective. We lined the outer edge of the soil in our planters with a solid and thick row of cinnamon! It seems that spider mites hate cinnamon and will not cross that line, no matter how tasty the treat is on the other side.

Has anyone tried this on our plant of choice? I guess it would be important to know first if this can affect our plants and if it would possibly add any taste to the end product. I have seen the remedy work against the bugs... and if one was prone to infection I would think it would be worth a try as a preventative.
