Dear Robert,
I would get 4 or 5 cans of milky spore and treat little patches, preferably
under berry vines and fruit trees where the beetles do their mating and
drop to earth to bury their eggs in the sod. Milky spore will spread from

One of the most interesting parts of this post, though James, is that you are picking up in part flea beetles use psychological tactics on the plants they consume. They tell the plants very convincingly a sob story of how "if you don'

I am questioning my use of 501, however.

I was speaking to Hugh Courtney earlier this week and he mentioned
that a 'fresh tea' of stinging nettle was an excellent spray to use
for control of flea beetles.
He said the tea should be made similar to the equisetum recipe for
