Controlling whiteworms organically
Here are some organic tricks to help control whiteworms (which later become click beetles)...
- Plant flax, white mustard, buckwheat, or woad as a cover crop.
- If you have milkweed, try putting some of the juice (the stuff that comes out when you snap the stalk) from this plant on the ground on the soil around infested plants.
- Get a tall narrow can (like those that a double serving of soup comes in) and punch holes in the bottom and side. Put potato peelings in the can, and then bury it half deep near infected plants. The white worms will end up in the can, and you can empty them out.
