Flea beetle control?

[Matthew Langholtz]

Flea beetles are munching my bok choi :-/    Any suggestions?

Diatomaceous earth is my all purpose response. They (flea beetles) eat my eggplants every  year until I dust them. We buy it at the farmer's co-op. You can get a 50 pound bag for about $20. We put it in a galvanized garbage can and store. It lasts a couple of years. We also use it as an organic wormer for our pigs. Kills flea beetles and porky parasites. Wow!

The good thing about flea beetles is they usually begin to disappear about this time of year.

Cheers,

Brian
