Hi, have a rocket plant and something (looks like a minute grey coloured mite) eating at it, some leaves eaten to the stem. Don't want to use harsh poisons, any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi Jo Sounds like aphids? I use a soap spray for aphids (make sure to leave it one week before eating them and wash thoroughly of course) but you can find lots of alternative and natural sprays on the Gardening Australia website - just look for 'home remedies'
