I'm 4-year pumpkin grower, and I tried to go organic this year, but he squash and cucumber bugs done me in. I would love to hear some organic success and what you guys/gals use for insects and diseases.

Thanks, Paul

Only Rotenone. I also used an artists paintbrush to fish the cuke beetles out of the blossems and squash them. I used the powdered Rotenone as needed. (I went through 2 bags this year)...but it paid off. My plants are healthy and all have sets. That is all I ever use in my garden as well.

It takes three or more years to return to a completely organic position. I like the position and products of AGRO-K. They speak of healthy patch because some small percentage of their product is not totally organic. Also they have not forgone the label expense to lay claim to totally organic. You could design a totaly oganic appproach with their products. They maybe could be a rebuilding help to you. They can be searched and found on the net. These products are designed to suppliment and support the total organic practice that you propose to follow.
