Milky Spore: another way to kill grubs

Wifey is amazing.  There are many reasons she's stupendously fantastic, but one of her qualities is that she does a great job researching things.

At some point in her meanderings around the internet, she learned about milky spore.  Milky spore is the common name for a naturally-occurring disease for japanese beetle larvae (aka grubs).  Since we have a healthy population of grubs in our property, it's another way to, hopefully, deal with them.

This morning, we finished applying the spores.  It's a really tedious activity over a 1/4 to 1/2 acre piece of property when you need to do it 1 teaspoon at a time. 

Once applied, it needs to be watered in.  "The watering in" part of the task is also tedious when the far side of the property is a few hundred feet away from our nearest water spigot.  Watering cans.....oy.


Eventually, we finished the job.  Die grubs, die!
