Okay I got a spade and took a slice of turf up.In only a few seconds I counted around seven leatherjacket grubs. I guess there lies my problem. I had a word with the leader and told him to stop. Fingers crossed!
But did you put a sign up to stop any more moving in Ducky?.....
I think weather conditions have had a big impact this year too - a lot more insects still around and breeding that, in a normal winter, wouldn't be. If you can do the black plastic trick (annie describes it on the previous page) a bit at a time, it might get you a head start. Worth a try round the worst affected bits perhaps.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
