Post by spikew1 (4) | (06/08/2007) Profile | Contact another one of my plants... if anyone has any idea whats growing, let me know. I forgot what I planted & where... so the names on the pictures might be wrong. Also, I have seperated these plants so they are not all smooshed together like this any more RE: What bug is eating my plants? Post by spikew1 (4) | (06/08/2007) Profile | Contact After searching the internet, it "seems" that on some of my watermelon plants I have "Bacterial Wilt"... however, these plants are starting to come back, grow bew leaves and look healthy... should I let them grow or get rid of them? Also, the radishes I planted are supposed to be round, they are coming out long & red, anyone know whats up? This is my first time gardening. RE: What bug is eating my plants?

Post By Amy (Guest Post) (05/31/2007) For rabbits, try spreading dried bloodmeal around each plant, or around the perimeter of your garden. Rabbits don't like the smell and should stay away. Other ideas: ~plant lavender or catnip around the perimeter of your garden ~ hang garlic cloves or make a spray of garlic cloves and water in the blender then spray around the garden ~sprinkle cayenne pepper around the plants As for the bugs, I'm not sure which kind is eating your plant. I have similar holes in my plants that I have always blamed on my roly-poly pill bugs. I think it might actually be a slug. I've heard that you can get rid of both by putting beer or yeast mixed with water in a clean pop can or small bowl and burying it up to the top. The slugs will be drawn by the smell and end up drowning themselves (or get very intoxicated :) I have yet to try it, but my grandfather swore by it. Hope that helps...
