Not seeing this info anyplace here.
I used to have huge problems with potato bugs.
I'd pick the bugs off the potatoes in the morning and late afternoon. If I didn't remove
the bugs, the leaves would be completely gone in a few days.
I picked up a gardening book from one of our local Amish stores. It suggested to plant
a row of beets between each row of potatoes. For me, it works extremely well and it's now
rare to find a potato bug.
