On one site, I read that they are not active in ground temperatures below 64F.

Here is a site with info on solarization and other techniques.

As I wrote above - the marigolds we always grow are dwarf French. It looks like we're going to have a colorful garden from now on.
I went out into the garden and wrote down which tomato varieties look and produced the best. Maybe some of them have nematode resistance - or it could be those plants just didn't get attacked as much? None of the ones with more than one plant are planted beside each other.
