Cone flower help!?

Question

my coneflowers are getting eaten by something. What natural product can I use to keep the critters away?

Answer 1

First of all, what is eating them? Companion plants like mums or marigolds usually ward off pests.  Natural products usually don't work for very long if they work at all.  Bugs don't usually have taste buds or mind too much what they eat if they eat plants.  Any dust product such as talc or diatomaceous earth should ward off a lot of munchers but knowing what insect you're dealing with helps a lot.

Answer 2

Japanese beetles are eating all mine!   I have tried everything to get them to go away, but nothing seems to be working well.  I've bought everything they say at the store, but the only thing  I've found that works is taking a bucket of soapy water outside and knocking them into there, which isn't something I can do all day.

Answer 3

Just bring them to my house,,,i will plant them and take care of them!!!

Answer 4

I bet it's Japanese beetles... They are shiny blackish bug, 1/4 to 1/2 inch.  You can see them...Google search them for pic. Not sure about natural products.

Answer 5

place beer in a dish under them, it attracts many insects,slugs and ward them off your plants
