How To Apply Nematodes To Garden

Question From: b. kemp - ARIZONA
Q: I grow my garden with a wood chip mulch cover about 4 inches thick. how should I apply nematodes to my garden? my garden is about 1/2 acre

A:

This is beyond my area of expertise. I suggest you talk to the folks where you buy the nematodes and also talk to your country horticultural agent. To my knowledge you will need to pull back the mulch and spray the good guys on the soil and water them in. The soil should be moist when the nematodes are applied so they can move through the soil. Happy Yardening, Nancy.
