Is there something I can do in the garden this fall to control bugs that will eat my vegetables next season?
If you till your garden in the late fall, you will expose insects hiding there to harsh winter conditions and reduce their populations next year. Fall tilling may help kill corn borers, cucumber beetles, squash bugs, earworms, and vine borers. Tilling has the added benefit of making the soil easier to work in the spring.
From The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
