Is Milky Spore to control grubs okay to use on my remediated garden soil? Don't want to harm the existing bacteria.
I see that it is okay for lawns but what about vegetable gardens and fruit trees?
Other people may reject you but if you lie in the forest floor for long enough the moss and fungi will accept you as one of their own!
It will not harm your soil biota to use Milky Spore, it will simply be another beneficial living in your soil.
Paenibacillus popilliae (formerly Bacillus popilliae) is a soil-dwelling, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium.
It only causes disease in beetle grubs. It won't even harm the cicada larve living in your soil, should you have some of those.
