Garden writer and educator Susan Mulvihill discusses how to organically control some of the most challenging insects in the vegetable garden. You'll learn all sorts of tips for keeping ahead of cucumber beetles, Japanese beetles, squash bugs, and squash vine borers. You'll also find links lower in this description for information on varieties of disease-resistant cucurbit family crops (cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, summer squash and winter squash) as well as additional information from research-based sources on why Japanese beetles traps aren't a viable alternative for controlling them.
