The flea beetles have started to eat my potatoes so I'm trying a dusting of spinosad. It contains two neurotoxins derived from a bacteria (Saccharopolyspora spinosa) and is supposed to result in paralysis after a day or so. Hopefully enough will get down into the soil to kill the larvae, which are no doubt munching on the roots and tubers. #GrowYourOwn #FleaBeetles #epitrix #beetles #potatoes #garden #gardening #allotment
