Re: Centipedes

I've never had a centipede problem so I looked it up in a couple of my
books and therefore got some conflicting information - one book claims they
feed on other small insects and crustaceans so your garden wouldn't have
any worries - but the other one (Rodale's Color Handbook of Garden Insects)
says they prefer to feed on asparagus, cucumber, lettuce, radish and tomato
- go figure!  Anyway, they suggest flooding them or trying a tobacco
infusion poured over the soil.  Hope that helps!
