Dorene:
Thank you for this info- solutions are always energizing for me (even
looking out at 10inches of snow in Northern KY).

Did they happen to mention US sources of Protechnet or Enviromesh. All I
found via google was a Quebec source (which incidently had a tractor powered
row cover remover from Sweden that was really cool to see).

Thanks,
Mike

Hi, Folks!

So glad to be home for this snowstorm instead of snowbound in State College,
PA last weekend for the PASA conference.

Anyway, I did manage to get to a Penn State entomologist's talk on cucurbit
pests. He did a study and found that flea beetles, striped cucumber beetles
and squash bugs have worse infestations in organic/sustainable systems than
conventional systems.
