Local Harvest Gardening

The Sow Bugs seems to love the new mulch with all the wood chips. I can understand why they like it but they are eating the radishes, making white patches on almost the whole bunch. What to do?

It's not uncommon for areas that have recently be turned to no-till to have an imbalance in soil food web members. Things will balance out. For now, you can set traps using apple core, potatoes or other starchy sweet vegetables. Shake off the sow bugs a few times per day. This will be less of a problem later in the spring.

Thanks Dan, I’ll try it.
