New Remedy for Japanese Beetles

Okay, so this may not be feasible for everyone. But my 10 yr. old has taken it upon herself to go collect the Japanese Beetles that are now infestating my pea plants, etc., and feed them to her pet hens. rock on

I told her I'd give her a penny for every J.B. she picks off. My 16 yr. old son told her to pay herself 2 cents for every Japanese Beetle she DOESN'T collect, because "Then Mom will raise her price to 3 cents for every one you do collect." rofl

Who says kids' minds turn to mush during summer vacation?

That does not sound like mush...sounds like you have a future talent agent in the family.
