108. We Don’t Want No Grubs: How Gain the Advantage On Japanese Beetles

Upside Down Tulips - A Garden Podcast

Greetings Bad-Ass Backyard Gardeners! The ever-witty and future pop-star Karen returns to UDT and we chat about what’s blooming our gardens, what’s died, and what is just being plain pokey. Plus, find out the unique way Karen aerates her lawn, how Christy made an unintended birdfeeder, and why bears are like cats.

Then, we take our grubby hands and dig into the beautiful bug everyone loves to hate. Founder of Phyllom Bio Products and ever-wise, John Libs, comes back to continue our ever-growing series on organic Japanese Beetles mitigation. Learn all about this garden enemy and why Spring is a great time to plan your attack. Then we discuss the benefits of soap & water, neem oil, milky spore, traps and grubGONE! So, unless you want to hope for a flock of crows to descend into your yard at just the right moment, this is the podcast for you.

Surprise! Edith sent a letter to Mailbag (Ring Ring!) and we giggle at all her updates – and sympathize why sometimes, despite our best efforts, things just don’t grow. Ah well, we have laughs, joy and inspiration to help! Let’s all smell like dirt, OK?

Check out grubGONE! & beetleGONE!
