A little follow-up for those who have the same problem I described recently with grubs in their lawns that inspire predators (in my case skunks) to dig for them, interested in whether the nematodes I recently spread on the lawn did their thing (which would be to eat the grubs). In short, they seem to be a rip-roaring success, as the holes in the lawn have ceased appearing. Of course this could just mean that all the grubs have hatched, as we certainly are seeing our share of Japanese Beetles now, but the cause-and-effect seems pretty clear, as the digging stopped shortly after the 'todes were released. I wonder if the fact that we live frighteningly close to a nuclear power plant means that this still has the potential to turn into an apocalyptic science fiction movie?

Happy birthday to Steve "Wedge" Bond.
