Whens the best time to use nematodes?
« on: April 17, 2013, 22:48 »
Hi all, ive just planted my first, seconds and main crop spuds and am a bit worried about underground slug damage, so i was wondering when the best time was to buy and water in some nematodes to kill off the slimy little critters?

Im thinking that they will only start hatching two weeks after the ground gets warm enough and obviously at the moment there are only the seed potatoes there for them to munch on.

Thanks in advance.
