Re: Cucumber beetles
Diatomaceous Earth will not hurt (no pun intended, but the snails will hate
it!), but in all honesty (unless you must go organic control) I don't think
it will work against the cucumber beetles, and if you don't control the
cucumber beetle your season will be over. Sevin dust or spray should work
ok.
