Ihave heard many ways to contral the vine borer. Last year, my first year growing Dills, my plant was hit hard with vine borer. While at the weigh offs several of the successful growers suggested using symitar (my spelling may be incorrect)to controll the vine borer. Therefore, does anyone know were I can get symitar?

While not labeled for SVB, Merit will give fair-good control too. Much easier treatment procedure & more forgiving of poor timing. Look in the "How To" section from this web sites homepage. Over on the left in the box.
Len Stellpflug has authored a very good article on using Merit you'll find useful.
Good luck this year is right. I hate those SVB's too!
