overwintering DE for grubs and or eggshells in containers?also what a

will that kill the overwinterings grubs and other worms in my pots and raised bed bins?

i picked out dozen large ones in my big 4ft wire raised bins. i put in 6 Gewirgia jet slip I bought locally will adding various organic like bone meal,. phosphate, epoma plant tone, etc , leaves etc break down better over the long winter?

they ate the heck out of my few sweet potatoes that grew there.

they carved and furrowed those sweet potatoes. It is obscene looking. like someone took a potato peeler and groved ridges in them. most of the 24 inch pots had visible damage to several too. i got like 6 med sized grubs out of the one 24 inch or so black nursery type round containers. i think all in all dud a good yield per container. just wish i had bought the smaller black nursery pots cause they are so heavy to move and store

I just did empty turning over and going thru the last one. some damage in that last unit. all saw small worms or whatever I tried to pick them out and kill with my fingernail. hate the suckers

now sprinkling carefully food grade DE help over the winter. help kill the things?

The containers will al be under cover of a shed wing with something on top to keep out the also hated rodent good for Nuttin tree rats.
