RE: Results From The Japanese Beetle Trap
Those beetles look like a yikes thing to have. I'm rocking the beer in a mug against slugs in my "square meter garden" (it's actually aquaponics). Good luck trapping beetles. Are there no insect predators, maybe some wasps?
Thanks for your comment! I have heard about using beer to catch slugs with a lot of success. Luckily, we have not encountered slugs. I am not sure if there are natural predators, but I have been reading about some natural remedies you can put on trees or even companion planting.
What kind of fish are you using in your aquaponics system?
Trout
The reason I was asking is because I am very interested in aquaponics and I have been thinking about trying one on a small scale. Do you raise food to feed your fish (duckweed) or do you buy a certain type of fish food?
I buy a comercial pellet. Trout feed still relies on a bit of fish oil to make. There are other fish that can eat vegetarian.
