Diatomaceous Earth everything!! I buy the 50# bags and use it for gardens, animals, people, etc.
I saw someone said their ducks and I agree, our geese are great about this.
Another option is hatching praying mantis cases. We do this every year and they keep the hoppers and aphids down.
Is there a way to message you?

We tried diatomaceous earth last year for squash bugs on our yellow squash. It worked better than anything else we tried so far and we were able to get some squash hopefully it would help you as well.

@@user-ib6rc7hh9c We will have to try that when we replant them. May even sprinkle some from seed to full grown plant if it keeps them away. Thank you for the tip. 👍

I am new to your channel so I don't know if you have any ducks but if you do let them loose in your garden, they will eat the pests and not disturb your plants

@@TheKrazysinner We are looking to get ducks soon so we may have to try it. 😁 Thanks!

@@WildTsHomestead yeah they use them as natural pest control in I believe thailand in the rice patties and in other countries in their gardens.
