Hello everyone,

This is my first year gardening, so I'm not familiar with most of the creepy crawlies that ail the common garden. I planted English and Pickling cucumbers and both have been devoured by tiny black bugs that jump away like fleas when agitated. I'd like if at all possible to deal with these fellas naturally. Any info you can offer is much appreciated.

Thanks
