Carbcon Posted September 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Curly Lawn grub turns into a bettle. Get rid of them!! Will eat you roots and main stem at the base. I’ve seen plants eaten in half by the bastards when younger seedlings.Sent from my iPhone using OZ StonersHeard about these. Do they like potatoes?

Allblue Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 When I prep garden beds I use a pitch fork and sift the soil and hand pick as many out as the can. My garden soil is infested with them. They sit within the first 30cm of soil and normally pretty close together. Be sure to get both the black beetle and the grub. It’s not only temporary before they come back. Sent from my iPhone using OZ Stoners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybromusic Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 i have had no experience with curl grub but i think they don't like legumes ( bean , peas )not sure if it's toxic to them or they just don't like to eat them not going to help in a lawn of cause but " if " legumes are toxic to them might be worth havingthem as part of ya beds in some way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allblue Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 I use heaps of clover, pea and alfalfa cover crop so maybe I’m inadvertently helping by cover cropping with legumes. Thanks for the tip itchy. Sent from my iPhone using OZ Stoners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Regenerate blend is balanced in line with Albrecht ratios so it will help (along with quality humus) to restore soil fertility to depleted soils 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
