Well then I may as well fish for some information there as well. I fended
off whatever it was with lime. Worked like a charm, until the rain would
wash it off and I'd forget to reapply the lime for a while. The plants
would be fine, but then within the course of less than 3 days they would be
stripped to the stems. It seemed like the work of a vigorous herbivore,
caterpillar or grasshopper sounds about right. I never managed to see the
pest though.
Thanks for flying!
