After tonight’s rain.

Here is a video on an interesting concept called the plant health pyramid:
Instead of driving the beetles away, you end up making your plants healthy such that the beetles can't digest the types of sugars / fats contained in the plants.
If I were you I'd start with a soil soak/ foliar feed of EM to get your sugars in the leaves digesting faster and kickstart your soil food web a bit.
You can check it out on Amazon or Terraganix website. You'd get EM-1 and molasses, mix it up, let it ferment for a day or so and water it in and be sure to get it on the leaves.

It looks like a small bottle, but you activate it by feeding it molasses to multiply the microbes.

If you have access to kelp meal I'd also ferment that with the EM-1.
Can you tell me a little more about this garden you have? Did you just start it this year? Apply any compost? How prolific are the weeds and can you identify them?
Are your plants otherwise stressed from drought? How often are you watering?
I was thinking about trying some compost tea. I have some good compost that we made. These are brand new beds and we planted them heavy with the dikon radish as a cover crop. The beetles are really working it over and leaving the other plants alone for now.
Over run with these striped little suckers. Will ducks or chickens eat them? At least they’re just attacking the radish and comfrey right now. Looking for a permaculture solution.

Will ducks or chickens eat these things? The dikon radish is acting like a trap crop, and I have a lot of it around. But I really want to kill the all. I’m short of something, just don’t know what. https://nostr.build/av/a66deaa07f40d62a68075605cb865388e66e20422f78220d9123b374f9cd1107.mov

Don’t let anyone tell you, “you don’t need a tractor”. When you’re over 60 stuff just takes too damn long doing it by hand. #grownostr #gardentoolshed 
13 out of 18 on day 22. #grownostr #chickens 
Yes. The soil is heavy clay so I’m trying this for a fruit tree which will be planted this fall. Just trying to get the guild going now.
We set 26 eggs, candled on day 18. Had 2 die and 6 didn’t even look like they were fertilized. Put 18 on lock down. Day 21 so far we’ve had 3 hatch.

All new beds done this year.
