I am putting this here because they mostly eat my brassicas but beans and sunflowers get it too.
So I always had tunnels in my nasturtiums at home. 2 years ago my brassicas, mostly cauliflower, looked awful - like diseased. It took me a year to realize it was leafminers. Now it is a problem in the field. The only 2 bugs that have done anything this year for me are cutworms and leafminers. (luckily) My baby fall broccoli and cabbage at home in trays already have tunnels in the leaves. So I guess the only solution is nematodes. I am looking into them. If anyone has info on that it would be good to hear. They are not cheap.
