| Which holes do you mean, Philip? I see two different types, one looks like maybe animal chewing and the other looks like smaller holes, like wireworm damage: Wireworm damage to sweet potato: https://www.google.ca/search?q...: |

| Well Sue, thanks. I found it 😠! Wireworms, as I kind of suspected. Ive asked a few nurseries for soil treatment, they look at me like I'm crazy. They know NOTHING, of vegetables. Years ago, my dad told me of a treatment for soil, I can't remember what. I was hoping a member hear might know what to treat soil with. Porkpal. You really cracked me up. "Blame the gophers for everything. "  !!! I can't blame gophers, No teeth marks. The big surface, crater like holes, are from slugs 😮!!! I didn't know that slugs could live, underground.  Humm 🤔... Maybe, I'll Google 😀 Anything i say, could be misrepresented, or wrong. |
