Title: Nematodes
Post by: junejitsu on April 05, 2010, 09:59

I'm thinking of using nematodes to control slugs and snails on my plot this year.  Has anyone else used them and, if so, how effective did you find them?

Useful post thanks. I wasn't aware there was a slug nematode available and my garden is swamped with them. I did look at slug pellets but with pets and kids I didn't buy them. Think I will try these too as last years hostas were all but obliterated by the slugs so my new veg patch will be a target this year.
