 A  while ago i asked about nematodes and  oakridge  gave me the name of a company that sell it / them well
 i got in touch with them so i set up with them and paid for 4 packs to be sent april-june-july- august, i must say ive
 seen only 4 black slugs and snails hardly seen any of them ether, mind you the garden as its fair share of toads in
 fact the name of my place is called "Toad  Cottage"    and slow worms, in fact i had to rake the joints on the patio so
 they could drop in the gap before my jacko could get them, now she just stands there barking at them,,

That is an interesting article, not dopey at all.  I will try it.

Yes indeed a good  article, but it says buy a packet of nematodes to boost the mix,? the packet you buy why not
just use that,,,

1 its free, 2 if you make your own its fresh, the packet stuff has a very short shelf life, 3 you can make as much as you like
