I second the idea of the radish companion planting. Two years ago, the last time I grew pumpkins and squashes, my large japanese radishes were nearby and attracked the attention of the pests, including also flea beatles, leaving far fewer on the squash.
I must be blessed: I've never had flea beetles on my squash nor my cucumbers!! (Shouldn't have read that mail!!)
I wanted to ask: are squash borers REALLY drawn to radishes? Why in the world would they go to a radish? Do others have good experience with using radish as a trap crop for borers?
Thanks -Allan
