slug killing nematodes

Hi
Has anyone used the slug killing nematodes that you can buy now? Ive seen them advertised but they seem quite expensive so id like to know how effective they are before shelling out.
Thanks

 

Hi Mrs Cloudy
I have used nematodes before, and they work well against slugs, you do get quite a bit of coverage (water the soil, not the plants like I did the 1st time I used them!!!). They don't work against snails. Only use them when the weather is a lot warmer than now - I tend to start in June, & reapply in August, but I don't know when you'd start in your part of the world. If you have a shorter growing season, you may get away with one application. It does depend on how big your garden is too, be selective where you apply - they do "spread" a little. Hope this is helpful.
