yes, unless, maybe you can kill the bugs that are present in the soil. I did notice tiny bugs in the soil prior to planting, but thought they were there in the soil and would not come on the plants. I did’nt know they were spider mites at the time. they are very small black dots, maybe like the dot in the letter “i”. I have grown basil last year indoors and they were clean and didn’t have a problem with spidermites. Maybe you can somehow “sterelize” the soil, bye pouring boiling water to kill off any bugs, that might be around.
