I usually hang them off the edge of the container or stick it on the EB cover. I tried to hang one on the cage and bc I was a little heavy with the tanglefoot it dripped onto a few plants in the heat and burned the leaves. I went ahead and took this as an opportunity to try out solarizing soil. I double bagged the soil from the affected bucket inside clear 2mil garbage bags and put it out on the driveway this morning. Around lunchtime I touched the surface with my hand, that gets incredibly hot!! I'm going to let my remaining tomato plants do what they do and see what happens in the heat. I've got a couple black cherries that are starting to fruit, but other than that my expectations of produce are low after my soil issue set me back a month or more. My watermelons and cucumbers are doing well in EB's, as are the various peppers I have growing. I'm going to start some okra seeds tomorrow.
