Barring the use of row cover, you might want to use a light sprinkle of diatomaceous earth or even use some BT, which eliminates them by giving them a disease.

Here are some other ways to protect your garden from pests .

If you're costing out different things to use for walkways, or even to add to a compost, or to a garden bed that will have cover crops in, why not consider wood chips from a sawmill which can give you so many options, especially if they're well aged. If not, just leave them in a pile for a season until they can be used without robbing the soil of nitrogen.

Hope you're enjoying getting a few early potatoes out of the garden and maybe some peas. Lettuce or broccoli or other greens are always a welcome addition to your plate too. See you soon - hopefully in the garden.
