funny what pumpkin growing does to you. Me, a non drinker and my 2 year old son buying a six pack of beer from target! lol Thus stuff seems to be working. I just set 5 more traps in the patch to kick it into high war against sow bugs. The best part, the little babies, which I can't get in the past, are getting killed in the traps. Sure, I could wipe them all out with merit, but being organic, the babies are hard to kill. Last year I got all the adults by hand squishing, but the babies, which were everywhere ate my tap roots like crazy and repopulated the patch with thousands.
My patch is a nursery for the babies, thousands of them. I also seem to be finding dead pill bugs just laying in the dirt, the big ones. I think they might be getting out of the traps and then dying later. Pretty cool organic way to take them out. We will see if the effort works or if they take over as the plant grows.
