As we've planted the apple trees and blueberry bushes, tilled the garden area and removed bushes from around the house, we've come across grubs everywhere we've dug.
After doing a bit of research, we came across (providence?) an
organic grub killer sold in some local hardware stores. I'm very surprised to find an organic grub killer in such small (read: not Home Depot) hardware stores since event the big box stores don't have many organic options among their considerable selection.
Anyway, I spread that over the lawn over the last two days and applied that to the front bed and side garden area using a hand spreader. Since my research on the stuff indicated that the milky spore is safe for garden application where people and animals will be, I felt comfortable applying it to the garden areas and not just the lawn areas.
This was a great time to do it, too, since we're forecasted to get about an inch of rain today. That'll be great for watering the granules into the soil.
