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?

Similar tactic- leave balled up, slightly damp newspaper around directly on the dirt overnight, get up early and collect them, they will be chock full. I do it the night before trash day and put them in the municipal compost cart. I'm sure some escape, but the majority stay in the bin until collection. Lots to eat in there.
