RE: Gardening: Compost for the Cabin Terrace Garden Beds
My experience has been if the soil is brought into balance, the pests and diseases disappear. Then there is no need for barriers or other remedies... Now is the time to start thinking about amending the soil and planning soil tests, to be done in November or the end of the growing season.

I agree, fencing of some sort is crucial to having undamaged crops. I thought I had read, in the response, a swap out for bug netting when it got hot. That was what I was responding to....
