We seem to have an invasion of sow bugs. We understand that they are good for the garden but they seem to be eating the leaves of our cucumber and zuchinni plants. Is there some way to control them?
Hello BetsandMur, here is a link to a thread on sow (pill) bugs that you may find interesting: http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=7814&highlight=pill+bugs
I use our black lab's shed hair around some of my flowers and this has really deterred sows. They are still snacking on the raspberries though because even Max cannot produce enough hair to protect all of the canes! I wonder if other animal fleece or hair would also work?
HI Check out the Dog Barber shops in your area and see if they will supply you with hair. Regards Doug
