Eucalyptus Parramattensis - Parramatta Redgum

Post by kcpoole »

I found this was loose in the pot and when I tipped it out the rootball and soil just fell apart
BLOODY CURL GRUBS AGAIN!!!!-- This is the MAIN REASON i am trying alternative mixes as I believe t hey will be not affected by the buggers.
This was a 4 " nursery pot, and there wer 10 Grubs in it munching away!


I hope the tree recovers as the were some roots left by the bastards!!!

Hey that would be fun :-)

apparently they hate Zeolite so will try my alternate mixes and Akadama first.

Maybe use Zeolite In my Akadama instead of Course sand :idea:
