kill as many grubs as you can with some type of granular treatment. you can sprinkle it like you would fetilizer or install it vertically like i do (poke a small hole in the soil around your plant and fill the hole).the grubs are not worms.they are larvae for beatles.the larvae eat tender plant roots..if you cant dig a hole without finding a grub no matter where you dig then you have a problem..if you have a lot of moles in your yard digging holes and you wonder why??..the grubs are a mole's favorite food if you have been trying to get rid of moles there is your solution... get rid of the grubs....kill em kill em all!!! they are not your friends!!
