Hi, I am new to gardening and over the last 6 months I have gone crazy and have heaps of fruit and vege�s growing. I am hoping that someone can give me some help on how to get rid of Curl Grubs.
I have raised garden beds full of Tomatoes, Zucchini, lettuce, silverbeet, cabage, cauliflowers, cucumbers, asparagus, onions, leeks. Plus I have pots with madarine, lemon, blueberries, loganberries, mango, snowpeas, guava I think that is it.
Anyway, with one of my original raised beds I was struggling to keep Zucchini�s they kept getting blossom end rot. I did everything to fix this problem it drove me crazy then eventually I uncovered a curl grub then more and more. The garden was over run by the bloody things. I spent an arvo digging hopefully all of them out. A month later when I was planting my silverbeet in the same garden I came across another one Today I was replanting a new tomatoe plant in another raised garden and found another one.
Please I NEED HELP� I notice that there is nothing at the shops to rid the vege gardens of curl grubs just the lawns. So I need some home remedies that work and of course are safe to use on the vege�s. What have people tried?
Thanks for taking the time to read

Hi, shelleyk.

You might want to ask this in the Australian vegetable gardening forum, since your challenges and options for dealing with them are going to be different than they are in the US, where most of the folks who post here live.

Here is a link that might be useful: Australian vegetable gardening
