I am growing both hot and sweet pepper plants. Recently they all seem
to have been literally invaded by leaf miners. I can see the tell-tale
squigly lines. Leaves are turning yellow and brown. Originally someone
advised me to pull off damaged leaves. I did this, and still do, but
it doesn't seem to do much good. For one thing, too many leaves are
damaged, and every time I go out to look at the plants, the leaf
miners have moved on to new leaves or made even greater havoc of
already damaged ones. I have also begun using a garlic spray, but this
doesn't seem to be doing much good either. I don't want to use a
non-organic pesticide since I am eating the fruits. It is amazing how
quickly the leaves of all of these plants are being destroyed. If
anyone has ever dealt successfully with this problem and knows a
solution, I'd appreciate your sharing it... Thanks!
