RE: Do You Grow? Forest Garden Plan to Escape Squash Bugs!
I also battle squash bugs each year. It's one plant that has not yet responded to the increasing balance soil in the garden. Until it gets to be too hard, I use duct tape wrapped sticky side out around my hand and pluck off the eggs from the leaves. This works until the area is so overgrown I can't get into it.
Yes! I should have written that method, I actually love it!! Very satisfying. That is my plan in the hubbard row and out back if i need it. They just always seem to win halfway through the season!!!
