Earwigs or some other insect have been voraciously nibbling on my bean and radish leaves. I saw it mentioned in several places to put out a dish with oil and a little soy sauce. I figured it’s worth a shot.

Do you have a favorite way to keep the tiny critters away from your leaves?

    Earwigs are drawn to textiles for some reason. I’ve left gloves in the garden and they’d literally be filled with them the next morning (and new gloves purchased immediately!). You could try leaving a carpet remnant upside down in the garden with a healthy dose of diatomaceous earth under it. Diatomaceous earth is excellent for creepy-crawly control.
