This is where the first SVBs always lay their eggs and start the journey to destroying my squash. I use a small bulb duster and just dust out a little bit so that when I am finished there is a little dust on the bottom few inches of the stem and out about a half inch onto the mulch or soil. I'll try to take a picture and show you if I can remember to do it.
