Hi All,

First post!

I’m in Zone 6B, Buffalo, and this past summer was my first experience with cucumber beetles and they ruined my entire cucumber section in the raised bed. My question is should I clean out the entire raised bed (8’x4’) of all of the dirt to get the overwintering beetle eggs out or is there something I can do to the soil to kill the eggs before spring that won’t hurt my vegetables next summer.
