I heard a tip on "Making It Grow" (SC public TV) to wrap the stems close to the ground with aluminum foil to "foil" the dreaded SV borer. I tried it one time, but failed to maintain it when the squash plants grew and pushed the foil off. This year I will try re wrapping with foil after 2 or 3 weeks. It has promise if you are only growing a manageable number of squash plants.
