In segment 4 Joey and Holly answer garden questions

1 Q:I have problem with mice in my garage and I remember my grandparents saying a using hedge apples to keep mice and other insects out of the basement thanks Mitch from Milwukee,
A:The belief about the use of hedge apples for insect control is widespread and persistent. it is claimed that placing hedge apples around the foundation or inside the basement will repel or control insects. A few years ago, Iowa State University toxicologists extracted compounds from hedge apples. When concentrated, these compounds were found to repel insects.
Scientists also found that natural concentrations of these compounds in the fruit were too low to be an effective repellent. So, don't be fooled into spending much to use hedge apples as an insect repellent.
2.I grew zucchini in a shadier spot this year, and it didnt do as well as years past - what is the reason?
