RE: The ATTACK of the BEETLES! And NOT THE BAND! Defending Your Garden! 📷 [Video inside]
Our sweet cherry tree is being eaten alive by the Japs. Last year we tried the bag-a-bug, but I think that it attracted more beetles than we would have had otherwise. We're going to try milky spore this year. @ironshield
Make sure to set the traps far away from the tree. 30ft or more otherwise you're just attracting more!
MilkySpore really is the ticket. It takes a year or so to really see the results but works wonders. I went from decimated beans and hop plants 2 years ago to only ten beetles in the traps this season. Worth it's weight in gold even if you aren't going for organic. Make sure to place some underneath the traps to kill of any grubs that hatch there.
