Flea beetles in containers?

gorbelly · August 7, 2016

Are flea beetles less of a problem for plants in containers in your experiences? I have never grown eggplant in containers, but I see from a lot of other people's experiences that they do really well in containers. They seem to do better in containers than tomato plants do in containers, all things being equal. So I've been thinking about moving most of my eggplants to containers next year. Just wondering if container eggplants have less of an issue with flea beetles, because that would be a real bonus.
