How do you stop them from killing the vines? I tried to cover the vines with
soil but that didn't work. I tried Sevin dust. That didn't work either. What
are you doing that works? We are growing squash, water mellons and
cantalopes.

I personally gave up on trying. :-(
I'm considering trying them as a fall crop. Some people report good
success by spraying the bases with BT on a regular basis. Others have
tried sevin spray instead of sevin dust.
