Certified ExpertA.If you are growing vegetables, I would keep it in the low 60s to low 70s F. at night. Most will do ok with air temps around 50-60 during day but need warmer soil temps of at least 60 F.

May 28, 2012A.I've also read about organic homemade mixtures that supposedly get rid of the insects/pests, so there are other options. However, I haven't tried any of them yet. I'm trying to grow my tomatoes organically for now. May end up using the Sevin before the season is over! LOL!
