Black headed cockchafers
Hi all, we have a big issue with black headed cockchafers this year which have eaten parts of our paddocks bare. We've an unseasonally dry summer here in NW Tasmania which l have been told will have exarcerbated the problem. An oldtimer mentioned that we should be running chain harrows over the pasture before the beetles emerge in a month or so's time. I was thinking of doing a few passes with an S tyne cultivator that we have as we don't have harrows yet, just to expose the grubs to the birds. What do you think? Would the S tyne cultivator do the job? What depth should l set it at? Thanks in advance...
