My native soil is clay.

We've never had nematodes. Maybe our soil is too clayey. But that's one pest I hope to never see!dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338187523349055470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073185635856849089.post-40997710186874738532014-09-13T05:44:44.974-07:002014-09-13T05:44:44.974-07:00Maybelline, yikes what a scary picture.

I've only heard about such things from your posts so I'm thinking they are not much of a problem here in Nebraska. Maybe the blessing of the bitterly cold winter kills them. Our ground freezes sometimes two feet thick here in the winter. We have to bury our water line four feet down to keep them from freezing. I hope and pray that you get all those little nematode guys under control and have a great garden the next growing season. Do you grow anything during the winter months? Some try to extend the season here with covers and green houses but by October, I'm tired of the garden and just pull it out, rest, and plan for seed starting in February.<br /><br />Have a great mustard gas for nematodes day.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.com
