Any suggestions on how to go about creating a self sustaining hypoaspis culture? I have these extra mites and seems a shame to just jet them canni themselves.
You'd have to keep feeding them mites or fungus gnat eggs. If you can figure out a way to do that, you're set. Obviously, sombody does it. Probably more trouble than it's worth.
Well, I have had great success accidentally spawning thousands and yes I mean thousands of mites in compost containers with just some soil and a pear core for example. Yes, perhaps I could just get a 40gallon container of something vaselienve up the sides put in a whole crapload of vermiculite/cypress mulch and get the feeders going, then add a dozen or so hypoaspis and leave em all be for a month or two. I'm positive it'll work once the predator prey population stabilizes.
