Default Earwigs in the Basil

In our last fun filled episode, Thu, 26 Jun 2003 09:34:27 -0700,
"Bill Litchfield" proclaimed:

Earwigs have been chewing the living hell out of my Basil plants. They do
this at night, and I'm asleep while they're chomping. What can be done to
stop their nasty feeding? I garden Organically, so chemical pesticides are
out. Anybody??

This has good, balanced information about earwigs. I especially
like that they suggest you get out of your bed and go out into
the garden at night and make sure that the earwigs are the
problem.

They don't, however, suggest a clothing optional midnight romp
through the garden, although I do.

Pam, do watch out for cold doggie noses going where cold doggie
noses ought not to go.
