Can crop rotation strategies help reduce Japanese beetle populations in my garden?
I've been increasingly concerned about the recurring waves of Japanese beetles in my garden, which affects my rare plant collection. Understanding the life cycle of these beetles, I've been curious whether implementing crop rotation strategies could help manage their populations effectively. My garden layout allows for flexibility, as I grow a variety of plants in different areas, but I’m unsure how to structure the rotation to minimize the beetles' attraction to certain plants. I've tried shifting some plant varieties around but haven’t seen significant results yet. Has anyone found success with crop rotation to deter these pests? Any specific plant combinations or timing recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
