Default Re: Darn the todes!! Nematode control

its a location limited issue, so florida is prime RKN territory
I've seen it on a fig and veg but not bananas.

heavy mulch, compost, organic matter will suppress them.
I've also been experimenting with french marigolds around the RKN susceptible plants/trees. grow them and mulch them around plants (something in french marigold plants that they hate). i'll be keeping an eye on my bananas now also
(amazon french marigold seeds were like $6 for 500 lol)
