Stinky Plants

After watching the video on beetle traps I decided to hold off, and approach this thing in a natural way. Naturally, I continued looking online. I found a bunch of stuff when I Googled  How to Get Rid of Japanese Beetles. But there were some natural ways I could go about this that didn't seem like they would cost me too many calories. I could plant catnip or Geraniums. Any strong smelling plant would do. I even  did a little research on the bug itself. The Department of Agriculture had this to say:

The Japanese beetle is a highly destructive plant pest that can be very difficult and expensive to control. Feeding on grass roots, Japanese beetle grubs damage lawns, golf courses, and pastures. Japanese beetle adults attack the foliage, flowers, or fruits of more than 300 different ornamental and agricultural plants.

Yep, things weren't looking too good. I headed to my local gardening store, and picked up all the stinky plants I could find. Well, I wouldn't quite call them stinky. Let's just say strong smelling. I again referred to a video on grape plants and Japanese beetles. I couldn't post that one for some reason, so I just posted this one which made me want to use beetle traps even less.
