Hi all, have ordered myself some nematodes to kill off the nasty slugs anyone got any experience with thes?

    Yes, I've been using them for a few years and they definitely massively reduce the slug population.  Best watered in during or after rain so if it hasn't been wet lately, either keep them in the fridge for a few days if rain is forecast or water the ground well, both before and after applying them.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I will be using them for the first time as well, we discovered our borders and probably in the lawn are infested with leatherjackets. ?

    Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
