Something is eating the roots of my peas. I'm thinking it's grubs, but You Bet Your Garden's Mike McGrath, says grubs won't do that? The plants are not eaten...no slugs. I have a lot of large, brown grubs ( June bugs?). Any suggestions? Thanks, frank
are they cutworms? if you can identify what it is there are nematodes for most things. Or you could try one of the 'grow your own' mixed nematode types. Not cheap but generally effective IF you can be sure what you have is one of the species they target

Never saw a cutworm in my garden. I've found a lot of large, dark brown grubs, not the white, lawn kind. I know grubs eat roots, so that's my thinking. I think nematodes would be the cure. f
