Re: Question for you to help me with

Larry,
I tell ya I know nothing about Japanese Beetles, but here in the Pacific NW the arch enemy of the Hosta is all thats slimy, slugs snails of all kinds. We put a ring of copper pipe or flat strips of copper around the plant. Slug and snail slim reacts electrically w/ copper. You can almost here the ochs and screams at night. Do snails curse?

Subject: Question for you to help me with
I do call in radio show and this morning one of the questions that I didn't know how to answer was. I have hostas and in the fall the japenese beetles eat the leaves? What can I do?
I was surprised I didn't think they ate green, could it be the slugs but she thinks she see the beetles around the plant? Let me know what you think....Becky Litterer, Dougherty Becky's Greenhouse
