Cucumber Beetle Attack Plans

Here are some ideas I've gleaned:

• Plant tansy as a companion.
• Use straw mulch.
• Put up the bat house.
• Put a trench of moistened wood ashes.
• Spread onion skins around plants.
• Use row cover until the plants are too big.
• To fool cuke beetles: flatten a square of aluminum foil around the base of plants to bounce light on the undersides of leaves. This also helps the plants in giving them more light.
• Cultivate in the fall to expose the eggs.
• Benificial nematodes.
