Larry...

Need some thoughts/advise on garden pests.

Something very ravenous is attacking the vinca's, gophenia, lavender and maragolds in one of my beds. Whatever it is appears to feed/destroy from the ground up, inside to outside.

Can you help a brother out, I'm about to go nuclear on the %&*(#$.

...ground up?

Let's see...dry as all hell of late eliminates most molds and fungi and root rots. Maybe high salts? Ground up, inside out is odd.

Pics?

It is odd!
Starts at the bottom and sucks the life out of each stem, leaves, etc. No pics, but I'll see what I can do.

I've tried "Seven Dust" and insecticidle soap, helps, but marginally.
