As I've mentioned before, we have a grub problem in the field/orchard. I've seen quite a few as I've planted the apple trees and blueberry bushes and, more recently, evidence of moles on a hunt for a meal.
While at the townhouse, we learned about diatomaceous earth (food grade) and its many uses. Apparently, it's great for humans as well as as a "green" pesticide.
Given we had mole problems in both the front and back of the house, we tried it and had fantastic success. With that history in mind, we're trying it on a much larger scale in the field.
Wifey did an application yesterday around the apples and blueberries, then spread out as far elsewhere as she could reach before running out of the bag we had on hand.
Since it's raining as I type, it should be getting absorbed into the soil now. I hope it helps!
