Tried some on my spuds a few years ago. It was expensive and time consuming, just another of those faffy jobs I could do without. I think you have to do it annually and the funny thing is I can`t remember if it helped reduce slug damage. Thing is resistance to slugs depends on variety and every season is different due to weather and other varaiables in the micro world in the soil. I woudn`t bother again and prefer to rely on good soil husbandry.

Surely the point is that if you follow the No Dig approach you are building up predator/prey species and that purchasing Nematodes from a supplier is just a waste of money.
If your soil is healthy does it not beg the questions will the nematodes that prey on host species not build up naturally?
A fool and their money…….
