Response to Why no potatoes on neighbor's plants?

Potato and Bean Beetles are nasty. I raise Khaki Campbell ducks for bug patrol. They absolutely love waddling through the garden and eating their fill of bugs, grubs and slugs. They take an occasional nibble from some of my herbs, totally destroy my strawberries [definately need to enclose those better]....but, as a general rule leave everything else alone. Wish I could say the same for the geese. Have fenced them in their own field as well as fencing in the garden. Can never be too careful. The little pests [geese] are fine helpers so long as I'm in the garden to keep an eye on them; but, heaven help you if you let them in there alone! They'll wipe out anything and everthing if left to themselves.
