I have a problem with red spider mites, they are killing my tomatos. What is a environmentally safe way of dealing with them.

Hi, fdillard. Welcome!

Easiest, cheapest & most organic method of dealing w/mites is good ole strong blast of water! If that doesn't work, try insecticidal soap (Safer makes one), or Neem Oil. Not too many garden centers/nurseries carry Neem. Some may. Generally, have to order it. Gardens Alive carries Neem Away: http://www.gardensalive.com
