Nematodes

They arrived this afternoon so I immediately set upon the task of applying them. The pack covers forty square metres which is more then enough for my needs. The steps involved are:

  • Take a quarter of the nematodes and place them in a watering can

  • Add eight litres of water

  • Mix

  • Apply to a quarter of the area to be treated

  • Add eight litres of clean water

  • Water the area that has just been 'nematodized'

  • Repeat another three times until the whole area is treated


I now need to wait a week for the nematodes to home in on the slugs living in the soil.
