Last night when I went to water my brug, I noticed a mess of teeny tiny white bugs abt the size of mites crawling all throughout the soil in my pot -!?!? I've only had the brug for abt a wk. No wonder I've been having probs with this thing!Any idea what I can do to try & save this thing (if possible)? I'm pretty freaked out.
