Here’s picture of some of the fertiliser prills showing. Did the pearl looking eggs look like this or something else? Can you remember what color were they?
The plant pods are dry capsules and produced in controlled indoor conditions they are vacuum-sealed and stored until they are placed in the smart gardens. It is very unlikely for any pests/eggs to survive in plant pod while it is produced-packed-shipped-stored on a shelf.
Also - no problem for posting twice as every question is individual and is dealt separately. It’s great that the Pests thread was easy to find.
