Market Farming

[Richard Robinson <rrobinson AT nasw.org>]

Favorite foods here are raspberry leaves; we get some damage on a few other things when the numbers are high, but mostly they don't seem to have much effect. Grubs live in the soil and can do a number on lawns. Milky spore works over the long haul to keep them in check. Lure traps are worse than useless; you should buy some as presents for your neighbors.

Hi, nice to see this group pop-up again. 

I'm farming a new parcel of land in Maryland and I know they have had issues with Japanese Beetles in the past. Today as I was moving trays in the greenhouse, and I noticed what I believe to be a Japanese Beetle grub which reminded me that I need to be prepared to deal with them.

What are peoples experience with Japanese Beetles? What are their favorite foods? Do they have any natural predators?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Andrea
