squash vine borers
In the area where I live in NC (on an island of the Outer Banks) I
haven't been able to grow squash or pumpkins due to these durn vine
borers. Last year I did have limited success with bottle gourds, but it
was very late in the season and I only produced one gourd. When
I lived in Va Bch, Va I never had any problem with squash except for not
beening able to harvest and eat it fast enough. The soil in both of the
areas I have gardened is almost totally sand before amendment.
What ,if any precautions can I take as I prepare my garden areas
now to try to mitagate this problem? Is there any type of prevention
methods to be used after planting? Thanks in advance for any advice.
