AudreyDee said:I left a few wild evening primroses ((Oenothera biennis) growing in the vegetable garden this year just because I like their flowers. I shortly discovered that the Japanese beetles liked them too and went straight for them rather than the vegetables. I wasn't so fortunate in the flower garden. Since I didn't have any primroses there, my roses suffered instead.


What a great idea! And you won't attract additional beetles due to pheromones like in the traps or if you squish them! nodding
You don't kick walls down, you pull the nails out and let them fall.
