So I'm thinking that and early crop and then a later crop might just do it. I know several gardeners who grow organically but have to use Sevin in order to have any type of squash.Manuela@A Cultivated Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282273791971364124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846986797511281741.post-52216485886197487772012-04-10T15:57:03.895-04:002012-04-10T15:57:03.895-04:00After losing my squash, zucchini and cucumbers the...After losing my squash, zucchini and cucumbers the past 2 years to squash bugs and worms as well as over half my strawberries to ants, I decided I had to either take action or give up. I've tried all the home remedies and organic products, but just wasted my money and time as I pulled up more and more of my devastated plants. After researching I decided to try treating my soil first in order to kill the eggs and avoid using any type of treatment on my actual plants and produce. Our Ag Extension office also suggested treating the soil and letting it sit a few weeks before planting anything, allowing the pesticide to do its work on the eggs and then leach out, with out having contact with my actual vegetation. <br /><br />I did not make this decision lightly, but with our VERY mild winter and predispostion to horrendous bugs issues in the South, I decided I had to try. I am confident anything I produce still has MUCH less pesticide than anything I could buy in the grocery store, so I am comfortable with my decision.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10208589749750108178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846986797511281741.post-28156364748094568542012-04-10T14:56:32.748-04:002012-04-10T14:56:32.748-04:00Your raised beds look neat and tidy for starting t...Your raised beds look neat and tidy for starting the gardening year. Personally, I would hesitate to add any kind of pesticide to a bed where food is to be grown. Are you not concerned about absorption of chemicals?Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846986797511281741.post-35478052110562832232012-04-10T12:31:27.490-04:002012-04-10T12:31:27.490-04:00Hi!
