Re: pests


I was browsing an Edmunds Scientific catalog last night and, with this 
thread fresh in my mind, when I got to their sonic gadgets for repelling 
pests, I couldn't help but wonder if there is some frequency that would 
repel all these various pumpkin cooties.  They claim to have some that 
will repel ticks and fleas, why not vine borers or white flies?  Maybe 
we should try to recruit some entomologists for the list.   Hey Rick 
Noffke, what do you know about this?      I really don't like tossing 
all these vile chemicals out there.   

Joe Mills, maybe you should crank up the amps and play your guitar in 
the pumpkin patch!

infestation of these sap-suckers and now the powdery  mildue is 
starting.
