How To Protect Squash From Vine Borer

How to protect squash from the Vine Borer? I don't know about your garden, but over the last few years, the squash vine borer has decimated my squash and pumpkin plants. The plants usually start out well and get a few vegetables but then the squash vine borer moth swoops in and plants the egg at the base of the plant. The grub, once hatched, then tunnels into your vine and eats its way in. Within 48 hours, the plant will wilt and start to die. Let's talk about how to detect the vine borer, prevention methods, and finally how to provide life-saving measures for your cucurbit plants. 2022 Squash Vine Borer Update: https://youtu.be/vUlhWg-naUM 2023 I'm Beating the Squash Vine Borer: https://youtu.be/GIcTpR3s93k Louisiana Simple Living Merchandise: https://www.youtube.com/@LouisianaSimpleLiving/store #squash #squashvineborer #badbugs #organicGarden #louisianagarden #louisianasimpleliving #sfg #squarefootgarden #raisedbed #raisedbedgarden 0:00 Introduction 1:23 What is the Squash Vine Borer? 3:49 Prevention Methods 4:50 Plant Resistant Species 5:43 Rotate Crops 6:28 Succession Planting 7:21 Organic Pest Control 9:41 Companion Planting 11:42 Other Methods 14:39 Daily Inspection 16:51 Flashlight Silhouette 17:38 Yellow Bowl of Water 19:43 Life-saving Measures ************** As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
