Posted - Aug 10 2008 : 8:40:17 PM Ugh! My yard is INFESTED with grasshoppers. How I wish I had chickens right now!
So without adding a predator to the mix (Like chickens)- Does anyone have any ideas?
Luckily they seem to be leaving my strawberry plants alone, but my pepper plants look like someone attacked them with a cheese grater!
