How Will You Prepare Your Beds for Next Season

Someone else here suggested foil wrapped around the squash stems to prevent the borers. Similar idea. I'm going to try it this year!

Copper too I believe works for borers.

The clay is super ionic; sticks to surfaces, rather than working into stomatae. Fine for plants...good for soil as well.

I like ALL the borer stuff, but know that almost ALL my plants got borer last year and I just sliced with a razor til I found them and CUT them . Mess with my squash; I CUT you...

Bed prep? I piled some compostables on the beds in fall (sheet composting of a sorts) I will rake them off (adding the rakings to the big pile) and plant.

Bed prep sounds like a lot of work. It doesn't have to be, and some good things happen when you leave soil alone...
