Earwigs or some other insect have been voraciously nibbling on my bean and radish leaves. I saw it mentioned in several places to put out a dish with oil and a little soy sauce. I figured it’s worth a shot.

Do you have a favorite way to keep the tiny critters away from your leaves?

    If you can manage to catch a bunch of them, burn them and then sprinkle the ashes around the area you want protected. My dad does this with his garden and swears it keeps bugs away (but he’s also really “out there” so it’s very likely not to be true).
