Whoever thinks organic farmers are touchy-feeling pacifists doesn't know any. There's a lot of killing in any life-rearing. Today I dug all these "blind chickens" out of a small root vegetable bed, since their favorite food is roots.
I wish we had a flock of chickens to feed the blind chickens to! Soon.
Any tips on discouraging them? I can't dig amidst our carrots, radish, jicama anymore since their little roots don't want my fingers or those grubs as neighbors.IMG_20180605_195348478.jpg
What we're dealing with is la gallina ciega (Phyllophaga spp.) So basically June bugs. Lots of tips online - any of these work for you?
