What's eating plants in my cold frame
Something ( small) is eating the tops out of the plants in my cold frame.
Has to be something pretty small since the frame is closed up most of the time and only open during the day. Ron H. |

Then you can try a number of solutions, dependent on what the pest is, your method of gardening, etc. Once you've got the pest identified, here are some starters: http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/biocontrol/toc.html http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7427.html http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn74102.html Kay -- NewsGuy.Com 30Gb $9.95 Carry Forward and On Demand Bandwidth |
