Also dusted dried grounds onto and around my eggplants to repel flea
beetles.



How effective was doing this?


Seeing as flea beetles will find my eggplants the moment I start bringing
them out to harden them, it does seem to help.

The weedy nightshades that pop up in various places in the yard always
seem to be shot through with flea beetle feeding.
