Biological Warfare

Red Russian Kale Spring 2012
I noticed in garden #4 when I was burying the Ollas that I had too many grubs languishing about in the dirt. I annihilated all of them that I found, but was worried about the mass numbers I was finding. I decided to obtain an organic solution to help with my eradication. I did some research and chose to try some beneficial nematodes. I bought mine at Gardener's Supply called Grub-Guard. I was disappointed to find the cold pack to keep them alive had melted. I checked the water after I put them in and I saw some didn't make it, other were swimming happily about in the water. I hope enough survived to make a serious dent in the grub population. If not, the battle will be on again soon!
