How do you stop them from killing the vines? I tried to cover the vines

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.

If we can't find something to work we too will give up on these crops. With
prices so high in the stores and loving these veggies I thought I'd try one
more time growing them.
