Reply To: Home-brew Nematode solution

[John]

Hi Stewart

The intention of the post was really about whether or not it was possible to ‘grow your own’ nematodes rather than buying a pack as Charles has done when he has had a slug problem.

So I should now like to ask two questions.
1. Is the watering on of a nematode solution effective at killing slugs?
2. Is the home-brew method a viable alternative to buying a pack of nematodes?

The effectiveness of any nematode solution seems to last only six weeks so my guess is that there in no long-term residual effect. Toby Buckland, who wrote the article, is a professional gardener who had a high profile when he presented Gardeners World on TV.
