tom i stopped growing things that fb destroy. but last year and this year i mulched heavily with shredded leaves while planting things i stopped due to this problem and to my surprise no flea beetle issues last year and so far nothing this year. maybe i broke a cycle and they'll return but so far nothing. i know you use spoiled hay but maybe the leaves don't allow gaps for them to hide in and the hay does? get a landscaper in the fall that has shredded leaves and see if he'll deliver a couple of trucks worth. maybe barter some of that salsa or garlic or whatever?
