How to make a codling moth trap

Posted by Hank in Tending your garden

Simeon made this homemade concoction to attract the male codling moths before they mate with the females. We found an old milk plastic container. Made a hole just below the shoulder. The rain can’t get in to dilute the mixture but the moths can crawl up inside. We made up the mixture in just a few minutes.

If you have just a small place to grow your vegetables you might try a micro-garden.

They can be as small as a single pot-plant on a window sill.
