This is kind of why I am posting this, I figure thyme will not be enough on its own given how bad japanese beetles get, so am asking for other things I can plant to help control them passively meaning less work for me in the long run, having to constantly spray them is something I am looking to avoid if possible.
Just saw this video where they talk about attracting ground beetles to hunt the japanese beetles. About 7 minutes in https://youtu.be/TIaYP99MKFM
Will definitely do some planting to attract these, I think I'm somewhat out of luck for this year so am gonna have to get scent traps but hopefully plants will be established by next summer and attracting the right bugs to kill off the beetles
