looking to get some beneficial nematodes, any recommendations where I can get some that you have tried and had success with? I've heard the ones on the blue sponge work better than the stuff that comes in vermiculite?? There are a lot of websites that offer them, but I want a trusted source given the perishable nature of the little beasts.
thanks!

I have heard that the blue sponge nemotodes work very well. I have always used the product in vermiculite from Antidote. Just be sure they are fresh and apply them early in the morninig or late in the day when the ground is wet. Between rain showers would be ideal. Also I use the mound drench method and move around my property with a dipper. One other little tip, I use the water from my water garden to mix all my liquids in. Rain water does the same. The reason for this is to have de-chlorinated water.

Good luck, let me know how you do
