I have the answer to your greatest pest problem Vineborer

I learned this trick from a old Italian lady

Take the ash from your fireplace from winter save it for your garden after you zucchini plant comes up about 3 inches just before it gets the second sets of leaves put a pile of the ash around the base of the plant

The ash is acidic and the wont go near it

I put a solo cup at a time down needs to be replenished after a huge rain

My zucchini lasted into November and was 8 ft in diameter

Bio char it self works to but not as well

It only needs applied at the root base the only lay there eggs within close proximity to the soil surface

Works on pumpkins and any squash or watermelon or cucumbers

I’ve been meaning to pass this knowledge on for a while
