What can be done?

Speaking of spider mites,I read in Robert Bergman's newsletter last week that to control the buggers mix 1 tablespoon of cinnamon with a quart of water and spray the plants.A lot better than using a pesticide.Has anyone ever tried cinnamon before?

the only way t control them is to grow high brix plants, I have additionally used mighty wash to finish the job

A bit of an update on my seed troubles.Last week I planted the last 4 seeds I had for NL Auto,they germinated fine but once I put them in the soil all growth stopped.Now these seeds were bought in Sept. of 2014 and I only had them stored in my dresser so they were old.Anyway I got to thinking about how the seeds from Herbies did the same thing as my NL's so I'm pretty sure they sold me old seeds. If I complained to them I wonder if they would do anything? Right now I'm happy because I learned something more.
