foiling the squash vine borer
I've taken the plunge! This morning I drilled drainage holes the bottom of new half whiskey barrel, propped it up on big rocks, filled the bottom layer with little rocks, filled the whole thing with the loveliest mix of peat moss, composted manure and good soil, then delicately planted my little zucchini seedlings on the top. I did go with the aluminum foil. It might help and can't hurt. I'm so pleased with myself that I'm ready to plunge into more squashes. Is there a winter variety that's especially resistent to borers? I might try some of them too. --Lia |
