I have put more into my gardens this year than before.with trhe heat, lack of water and something eating the bottom leaves of my beans, it is bad. Japanese Beetle work on the top leaves, but this damage is on the very bottom next to soil. I put down lime, sand, DE, potting soil to try to get rid of them, but it didnt help.
I went through and replanted in the bare spots hoping to get some beans. Beans are always my best producer. The bugs (?) arent on the squash, cukes, tomatoes or okra.
On the verge of getting a pesticide, but really dont want to because of the few bees I have left.
