starling starts with ... Found a few curl grubs in the ground when digging my most recent bed. I don't really want to use pesticide as I'm afraid it might kill the native birds when they eat the grubs--anybody have any other suggestions how to deal with this? I have just dropped about 5 inches of pure cow manure on the bed, hoping to attract dung beetles--could this be the larvae of the dung beetle? I've always been told that dung beetles were good for the garden. S | About the Author 10th September 2013 8:15am #UserID: 8102 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Ive you need this product. It's worked every time I've used it. The only reason I'm not using it now isn't because it isn't good, I'm just a tightarse. Confidor works too but I imagine its much nastier, not sure I'd use it on anything but the lawn. Honestly I don't worry about them too much really, in my experience you've got to have a serious infestation for it to be a big problem, even in pots. http://ecoorganicgarden.com.au/products/pest-disease/eco-neem/ | About the Author sternus1 Australia 23rd August 2015 4:08pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Well I repotted a potbound bluberry a couple of weeks ago, about 65 L pot. Would have been 15-20 grubs in the pot and the tree was in no ill health whatsoever, roots didn't even appear to be chewed. Maybe they prefer decaying matter over the roots, I don't know--but I can't say I've ever been able to attribute tree death to them. Have you actually noticed the tree displaying signs of poor health? | About the Author sternus1 Australia 23rd August 2015 4:50pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |
