Re: Insecticides, Fungicides, etc.

    There is really know way to stop vine borer beside picking off the eggs
and cutting out the worms.  For everything else I have found diaxinon and
another poisen to work well.  It starts with an m but I can't remember the
name.  I would alternate between the two each week mixed with a
fungicide/diseaseicide type spray.    I started this spray schedule after
about the first month from germination and kept it up until harvest.  I also
learned that missing a week of spraying was not good.  The bugs just went
crasy on my plants and it was all I could do to control them from there.
