Use Floating Row Covers

4
  1. Solution: Cover vulnerable plants with lightweight fabric row covers.
  2. Explanation: Floating row covers create a physical barrier that prevents insects like flea beetles, cabbage worms, and squash vine borers from reaching the plants to feed or lay eggs. Drape the fabric over plants or support it with hoops, ensuring edges are securely sealed to the ground.
  3. Notes: Must be applied before pests arrive. Needs to be removed from crops that require insect pollination (like squash, cucumbers) during flowering, unless hand-pollinating.
