49. Upside Down Grub Hub: How to Deal With Japanese Beetles

It’s hot and dry July. The early season plants are reaching their endtimes, flowers need to be deadheaded and the Japanese beetles are back! To temper the horror of that, Edith wrote a poem!  We then talk 50 ways to kill your Japanese beetles.  You could sweep, bag, spray, trap, grind, or entice them with a lovely fruit cocktail. (Fruit cocktail? What is this, 1954?)

You could also try Neem Oiling or Milky Sporing them to their everlasting rest.  Then, for a little dark humor, we brought back Darla and the Jersey gangster Tone Baritone.   And, as if all this murder talk isn’t enough, Christy has the most morbid inspiration ever, starting with the words “Every corpse…” and it doesn’t get any cheerier from there.  Calm down or die. Grow something.
