When you plant your squash, plant three white icicle radish seeds near
the stem. This prevents the squash borers from doing their damage. If
you already have damage, remove the borer, and plant the cut part as
deeply as you can and water in well so it has a chance to re-root.

Have you tried the radishes yourself or is that something you read
someplace?
