Count the Grubs

If you are thinking maybe you are going to skip turning the soil in your bed before you plant this spring, think again! As the two pictures demonstrate, you really SHOULD turn your soil to look for grubs.  Rita completely turned the soil in one bed during the workday and this is what she found.

 All these grubs came out of one bed!
How many grubs can you see in here?
(Don't count the brown mealworms.)
 

A close up of the grubs. Noticed they range in size
 from big fat ones to small white ones.

These are so disgusting! I'm definitely going to check my bed.
