Bugs were another huge issue for me. I used 7dust to begin with which help with the grass hoppers chewing the leaves. This didn't do anything for the bettles or whatever they were that were burrowing under the soil. I switched to neem oil which seems to help a lot more. I haven't been able to figure out how to stop the lizards that are getting underneath the soil in the pots. Its an ongoing battle but I think now that I have the watering down I can just focus on pest control. For now just spraying thoroughly with neem oil once a week.
