I got them out of house (I'm terrible at hardening off) and they survived last night. All is good so far.

1). Can't kill nematodes without use of insecticides. Counter being the most effective. Not going to do that as it will also kill off my healthy population of earth worms. & me, if I get sloppy....
2). Kill an area 100' by 100' (larger than my garden), once planted, they move back in faster than I can plant root crops.
3). Good vs evil nematodes-the evil always win. By the time the good build up, the evil have done the damage.
4). There are nematodes in ALL soils, organic matter added or not.
5). I'm not moving my garden every year. Finally found a spot that everyone leaves alone......except that dang, lone bantam rooster!

Appreciate the help brother but need to stop reading this "organic" crap. If it worked, we would still be farming with horses and mules.
