yes, it looks like snow in the patch! Kidding. Me and vince are trying an extreme extermination. we put DE (I think that's the name) it's crushed fossils like shells that are sharp at the microscopic level that kill soft bugs like pill bugs. WE still have an invasion and they like to chew off the tap roots on the secondary vines. We threw up more shade cloth and no misting to keep the powder dry for a couple of days.
The 980 grows very well, but even the tap roots not getting munched seem to grow a few inches and stop. Not sure if the liitle bugs are chewing them off underground too or if the plant just has a tiny root system. I've learned that root system size means nothing. I had plants with huge tap roots grow ok pumpkins, and plants with small roots grow monsters. So who knows at this point. But I wish I saw better root growth going down!!
