White Grubs and Japanese Beetles, OH MY!

Weather warming up, and white grub damage to lawn present.

2003 was a very wet year, compared to 2002, so spring 2004 shows lawn damage. It must been a positive factor in the white grub population. I have many large brown spots, I now pass time saying over and over to myself, the grub population is good for inoculating my lawn with milky-spore. Now also have applied another application of milky-spore. Waited for rain and began the process of feeding my lawn. I have to say the parts that aren't dead, are very green. In the fall of 2002, I don't recall applying winterizer, but in the fall of 2003 I did. I know once I get the lawn healthy, it can tolerate some white grubs, but combine a sick lawn with an overabundant grub population, and it's ugly.
