Having trouble with grasshoppers eating mint leaves. Help


Turkey's and Guinea Fowl are permaculture solutions. Traps made with yellow
sticky paper are supposed to work also. But I can't verify. Can verify
Guinea Fowl make short work of grasshoppers.

Cheers

Bantam chooks are also grasshopper eaters, and they like the minted ones.
