Squash vine borers

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. There's a squash variety called "tatuma" that is resistant to squash borers. Just be warned that the vines are aggressive and can run about 50 feet. They taste pretty good, though. I have not seen these seeds in the stores. Is this a winter or summer squash? Bob It can go either way (but usually used as a summer squash.) BTW, the *squash* taste pretty good, the vines taste terrible. Apparently not to the borers. wink Bob |
