Reply To: Wire worms infestation!

[Karen]

Hey Charles and all,

I was just reading a German book on organic gardening and also with a recommended planting calendar incorporated into it for Germany´s climate which I refer to every now.

I have discovered on the pest page that wireworms might actually be mealworms too as they have suggested using potato traps to attract them! I remembered my dad used to use potato slices as food for mealworms as he kept caged birds, which I totally am dead against.

I am now wondering how on earth am I going to set potato slices into all our vegetable beds to attract these pests! It´s going to be a truly daunting task 🙁
