The beetles are over-running our cukes,squash and zuchinni! I have noticed that they are even in the fields surrounding our garden. The garden is much too large to net (as I have heard to do), and mulching between and under the plants would be pretty tough to occomplish, also. I was hoping to find an organic, home-remedy spray or something that would keep them away. Thanks for your time!

i used to have this garlic spray, put cloves of peeled garlic into a bottle of water and soak for a day or two then convert to spray bottle! it repellled everything on my veges except the rats

BUT we have No clue how to get it going?????
please answer if you really know how to get a container garden going from the very basics. Thank you for your time.
Also, we would like to use all organic materials.

good on you both, use a bag of potting mix , slit the middle and plant what ever plants you have,use stakes if you have to , min 6 hrs sun is needed, when finished you can use the mix by putting into pots for growing flowers, have fun , tou will learn from the experience.
