badgers in gardens
I have badgers coming into the garden digging up the lawn. They are looking for chafer grubs to eat.  I know that I need to get rid of the chafer grubs, but until that works, the badgers are destroying the lawn. How can I stop them coming by MariaC

Talkback: Vine weevil control
lavae in my old strawberry pot (yesterday)....I painstakingly went through all the old compost removing the grubs and then thoroughly cleaned my pot (replenishing with new compost) - can I assume that as the grubs were in one of my pots - all others by Joss

help my fuchia has been eaten!
out of the edges of leaves, Knock the plant out of its pot and look for any white grubs in the soil, if you find any and they have not too much damage to the roots ,get as much soil off the roots re-pot and water with a suitable vine weevil killer by mucky

wire worms
and gorge themselves on the peelings, Check every couple of days and empty contents into a bucket of water, the fat grubs will drown. Repeat as necessary. by weejenny

LAWN SCARE!!
  Pinkpeony, can you describe what is happening to your lawn.. At this time of the year lawns are attacked by crane fly larvae feeding on the grass roots. Birds search for these grubs and because the grass roots have been eaten the grass is torn up too by pinkpeony

leaf damage to container plants
eaten, with the damage starting either from outer edge of the leaf, or from circular holes in the middle of the leaf.  So far I can't find sign of vine weevil grubs or adults.  Any advice welcome! A lot of creatures are night feeders and I always suspect by Katy12

Vine weevils
plan to use nematodes in the autumn to kill off the grubs in the soil but what can i do about the weevils? I have just been out and picked off about 20 weevils and squashed them! Is there anything I can use to spray them with? I will be eating the salad by GillT

Talkback: Cockchafers
't their grubs do loads of damage to our lawns? We have very sandy soil and I am worrying now as to how to deal with these things....I understand the adults themselves don't actually do any harm other than laying their eggs, that is! Am I worrying unneccesarily by gardeningfantic

Potted Bay Tree
sure it is in a sheltered, sunny position to give it the best chance. A thought - did you examine the roots while re-potting? Did they look healthy? And no sign of any grubs such as vine weevil? Hi  i'd concur with Alina, that bay trees like to be fed by Shirls44
