Re: Squash

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

Hi there,
Yes there is. 1st what type of squash? 
There is the product called Dipel BT that you spray at the base of the
squash vine.
You need also to learn what a squash vine borer looks like and kill the
adult moth as she comes into your garden.
I grow Cocozelle Italian marrow squash in place of zucchini. It is
resistant and i haven't found a borer in one yet. I also grow butternut
squash as my soul winter squash for the same reason.
If you want to grow a pumpkin that is resistant Jack-Be-Little is the one
I have found. Small but very cute.
