but something is doing a real # on my bean leaves.... There are some holes on my broccoli leaves but nothing to worry too much about. Tried beer, tried a board, no slugs.. Any other ideas on what can be shredding my stringbean leaves and how to KILL the little buggers?\

Look closely on your plants; have you seen any beetles or flies on them? Maybe also try looking at dusk or after dark.

I do most of my pest hunting at night, because that's when the moths that lay various eggs on the plants visit the garden. I definitely recommend doing it as soon as possible, because it sounds like something is really doing some damage.

You sometimes need to get down to the plants level and search carefully for insects on the plants.

I don't know what your tolerances are for pesticides, but you can use some Diatomaceous Earth to discourage insects. It is not a chemical.

There are some other herbal remedies that sometimes work. It would help if you could find the culprit.

Any grasshoppers around?
