I’m not sure what is causing the holes in our cucumbers but it has lead me to this site. I have seen in the picture of the mosaic virus in my garden and it’s aggravating. I lose as many as I pick. I am hoping that this spray will help and I can get back to having a lot of fruits and veggies!

My first year(as an adult) growing a veggie garden. Cucumbers were doing great until all of the sudden the leaves started wilting… just a couple at first.. then the whole plant. Would love to try your product!

Hi,
I would love to try your ecosmart product. I fight cucumber beetles every year. I have a mum-based (Pyrethrum)powder I have used which helps a little but I am constantly picking and smooshing beetles. Sometimes there will be hundreds on one plant. I would love something organic that is more effective.

I’ve been using your ecosmart to control cucumber beetles all summer long but have very mixed results. (I am curious to know why clove oil is included in the formula because I’ve read on other websites that clove oil is the only known attractant, if you want to draw cuke beetles to a pesticide or sticky trap.)

I pop a dozen or so cuke beetles with ecosmart every time i go into the garden — which is 3-4 times per day. The ecosmart does not seem to kill the bettles (though it does appear to burn the cuke blossoms). The real benefit that I’ve found is that it really disorients the beetles so that they come rushing out of the blossom where i can easily pick them off and squash them. Without spraying them first with ecosmart, I ended up breaking off nearly every blossom as I tried to dig the cuke beetle out from deep inside the blossom.

Any suggestions on how I can use your product more effectively on the cucumber beetles?

Thank you very much

Having planted cucumber for the first time and finding the cucumber beetle on my plants, made my heart sink in heaviness. I have large cucumber plants and yellow squash and zucchini plants. My watermelon is growing well also. I would love to try your product. We have many in our neighborhood who have vegetable gardens. I would be able to help them also. Thank you.
