Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Tina,
  there are several insecticidal soaps that target Stink Bugs. Go to a  real nursery not a garden center and ask them what organic insecticide they would recommend. Also inquire about pheromone sticky traps.

Last summer, my thriving cucumbers began to shrivel and discolor. Bit by bit, I had no choice but to uproot and discard them. Next, my zucchini began to suffer the same symptoms, only this time, I found (under some of the lower leaves) a colony of bugs I didn't recognize but my neighbor identified as "stink bugs." They are beetle-like in appearance. I need to find an organic solution to keep these pests out of my garden this year. Thanks for any advice!
