Marie and the other kind souls who have shared their insight and experiences with guineas, Thank
you very much. It may come down to trading one problem (bugs) for
another (guinea fowl). Back to my original objective: figure out some
way to minimize the damage caused by cucumber, asparagus and squash
beetles and harlequin bugs. I also had the problem mentioned by one of
the posters, and that is wilt as secondary damage from cucumber
beetles. What do farmers do who are organic or nearly so? Tom We ask everybody what they do, try everything and are still troubled by the cucurbit Bad Boys. The Cornell agricultural website has a good study about using certain varieties as trap crops planted as a barrier and so on, but those insects remain a very difficult problem often requiring several different methods of control, vigilance and persistence. Soon, you will have your own methods to suggest and we will be glad to hear them. Of the wilt spread by their feeding, I haven't found anything that guarantees a crop. Shawnee, zone 5 F
