For those of you battling Japanese beetles..plant peonies! Apparently these wasps love the honey nectar that peonies are abundant in (which also brings in the ants). Lab testing has found that they can eliminate grub populations surrounding peonies and the general area. So if you see these wasps, identify them as beneficials! And if you see odd shaped growths on your grubs don't destroy them..they are merely incubators for the next wasp generation. Go here: tinyurl.com/nvbbvor |

Long URLs are always a potential problem, so the trick is to utilize www.TinyURL.com. It;s a fast and free method to turn a long URL into 25 characters. Here is the link you just added to correct the first attempt: tinyurl.com/nvbbvor, This will replace even Amazon lonks which often go to two lines or more! Just read on TinyURL how to add it to your browser toolbar for easy access. |

It worked fine this time. I have several peonies which I really enjoy but it's good to know that they are also helping with the JB problem.

Oh good! You know Steve is tiny rule something I can use with an iPad or must it be a computer?
brownrex, it's also good to take care of other beetle type grubs as well as the Japanese beetle.

www.TinyURL.com does in fact work on the iPad. Make a bookmark for it (upper right corner of the screen, use the icon that typically means email, but also allows making a bookmark.) Then that will be in the list of bookmarks. You will then need to copy the URL of any site you want to share, pop open the tinyURL bookmark and paste in the copied long address. It converts, you copy that and there you go! It's easier on a computer, but at least it works for your iPad. - - - EDIT to add this link, created and pasted here with my iPad: tinyurl.com/oglssoh
