Greetings, all!
My garden is being overrun with flea beetles - not just on my peppers,
but on EVERYTHING.
Going to get some Diatomaceous Earth today. But wonder what I can do to
prevent/conquer such outbreaks.
I assume they're living in the grass - I'm on 10 acres of mostly
pasture, surrounded by 100s more. So, they're probably in the grass.
But I've never been inundated by one pest - usually, the problems are
local, and there may be several pests.
But this year - wow! We're in a drought here, so that prob. is also to
blame. And last winter was mild.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance -
Robert.
