Re: Regular Potatoes

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi there,
I had that happen before. I hate those buggers and wireworms too!
Have you ever tried the insecticidle nematodes ?
I'm thinking of trying them this year. I have carrot fly problems.  
I use wood ashes around my cabbages for cabbage maggots and that works
for those.
But carrot fly maggots and pepper maggots are my problem now.
I'm going to tent out the pepper maggots this year with floating row
covers.
But that cause a heat build up and I know carrots like it cool. Smitty
