Possums and grexes (but not possum grexes)
Notes
- Grex and landrace gardening! Planting for genetic variety.
- Raspberries are taking over!
- On the west coast, the Himalayan Blackberry takes over everything
- Larger rodents seem to be the most annoying. Damn possums!
- Dealing with Japanese beetles
- Beneficial nematodes can eat the larva and keep them down
- Milky spore disease can also be used to kill the beetle larvae
- Bacillus thuringiensis can also be used to treat grubs
- Firefly larva are also predatory towards pest beetles
- When buying any biologic, make sure to find the freshest stuff
- Colorado and three-lined beetles can also be painful
- Fireflies need leaf litter and dark skies
- Snakes are also a good pest-predator ally
