We've been saving about 12" of each of our micro radish rows (or more depending on demand) and then we torch them as the next crop is emerging.  We are killing LOTS of flea beetles.  With the heat and drought they are staying tight to micros and we are seeing a nice change after four weeks.

Allan,
When I moved to my farm 4 years ago, there were more bugs here than I ever
dreamed of. The flea beetles were here all summer and into the fall. Makes
no sense to me, but they are here. Seems they were a  little late coming out
this Spring.
