Thanks, Dr. Carolyn

I forgot to mention the elbon rye - I've been there too, with limited results! Every time I heard about something new, I got all excited and enthusiastic, only to be disapppointed. With our current drought/heat situation down here, though, I fully expect nematodes to be much less of a problem for several years at least. They have to be suffering mightily out in that blistering hot, bone-dry sand - and I have no compassion after all the misery they have caused me for so many years! LOL

PS - I always knew that nems don't thrive in organic matter, but you are the one who told me WHY. Thanks.
