So adding organic material Materials with chitin Solarize them and french Marigold Thanks man this is the most detailed and straight to the point video I've seen to fight against KRN
I'm glad you found this helpful! I solarized for 9 years each summer, and in some of my others videos, I explain why I don't recommend it anymore. Basically, my soil lost it's structure and water holding capacity. I switched to cover crops that kill RKNs.

@@StacksUrbanHarvest yo thanks for this man It's a big help especially that they just showed up just very recently and assuming their population is still low You're underrated
They are the bane of my gardens too. I have heard that French marigolds help repel them, but I doubt that would control them enough. It also seems to be important to plant them before planting veggies, not just as a companion plant. I'm interested in learning more about the cover crops!
Hi Beth! Yes, French marigolds kill them. I go into that in my recent garden club talk. And that talk, as well as the Cover Crop series are in the Nematode playlist. (See link.) I highly recommend trying these cover crops, but especially the Sunn Hemp! :) th-cam.com/play/PL6ulEHf2FUdHeA2CXF4l-Z0uPo90RCdX1.html
@anthonyruth5606 I even had root-knot nematodes in a large planter pot that ruined a tomato plant. I've been using them in my gardens, but my true test is that large pot. Growing them in there too, if it gets rid of them there, I will have the proof I need.
Good to know. I've learned some great advice from viewer's comments! And I've got a series I've done on cover crops to manage them. It's in this Nematode playlist. th-cam.com/play/PL6ulEHf2FUdHeA2CXF4l-Z0uPo90RCdX1.html Happy gardening! 🌿
David, this is great info, thank you. Someone told me that solarizing the soil kills beneficial stuff along with the nematodes, is that true? I was also told to rotate crops in my beds for nematodes, which crops are nematode resistant? I have many grow bags where I planted tomatoes and every single one of them got nematodes.
Yes, solarizing kills most of the microbes in the bed both good and bad, as my solarizing video explains. And yes, crop rotation is generally a good practice for annuals and short-lived perennials. If your grow bags are on the ground the nematodes are coming up from the ground. I laid a thick layer of mulch under the big grow bags you saw in this video that had chicken wire on top.
Solarize them, but for how long? I make mulch tea, but my strawberries doesn't like it, they recover but no strawberries yet this year. And is it true that some nematodes eat root knot nematodes? I'm trying to find a before and after visual of a treated bed, Do you have anything like that?
@@Crozbyguy-rg1iu Yes, there are predatory nematodes that eat other nematodes. They are like the great white shark of the soil world, but they are rare. I do not recommend solarization at all anymore. I used to do it all summer, every summer for nine years, and it did more harm than good. I talk about that in my latest video. th-cam.com/video/pa1X7e1I-FU/w-d-xo.html
I have a 50gal. Electric Marathon Rheem 50245 water heater. I replaced the heating elements 3yrs ago, and have flushed it twice since then, the water temp is hot 🔥 without issues however now getting a fowl rotton egg smell and cannot locate an anode rod location. Does anyone know if there is one and how to access it on a (MR50245)?
There are many types of nematodes, some that are predators of these root feeding ones we call Root Knot Nematodes. I usually often refer to them as RKNs. Then there are ones that kill other things like grubs. I'm not sure about the slugs and snails, but I wouldn't be surprised.
It is pronounced neh-ma-tode. Not nee-ma-tode. And there have been many studies done on the benefit of Thyme oil for eradicating root knot nematodes. You should look into that.
I've heard it pronounced both ways, and since I always hear Soil Biologist Dr. Elaine Ingham pronounce it the other way, I've been thinking about switching, but I then I like consistency in the videos. I would think that could get very expensive using Thyme oil. And I wonder what that does to the other soil biology.
@@StacksUrbanHarvest There are many products available that use thyme oil to but most are for commercial growers. And yes, you do need to be careful about the amount of thyme oil to not damage beneficial biology. I am just trying to figure out the ratio to use in my own raised beds.
And that's why I've been strongly speaking out against it. But for 9 years I did as IFAS recommended, and was dedicated to solarizing all summer and every summer. It did more harm than good, as I explained in my most recent videos.
@@StacksUrbanHarvest you should be talking to the sfw people about predatory nemas. Find out if there are any in the bio-complete, or how to encourage them into the garden
@@666bruv I do talk about this in the deep dive garden club talk. I've bought those nematodes and have had more success with using compost teas and using a holistic approach. The biocomplete includes the predatory nematodes. Dr. Ingham's focus is always on creating and maintaining that ecosystem of the SFW to create a healthy soil. There's not one magic microbe.

@Stack's Urban Harvest Thanks for link!
My question is , did using those cover crops eliminate your nematode problem? What worked?
I use marigolds for nemotodes ive been planting marigolds next to my crops havent seen them since that
@anthonyruth5606 I even had root-knot nematodes in a large planter pot that ruined a tomato plant. I've been using them in my gardens, but my true test is that large pot. Growing them in there too, if it gets rid of them there, I will have the proof I need.
Rhizoma peanut and vetiver grass helped with my nematode issues. Don't plant pinto peanut because nematodes love that one.

Is it a good idea to place the grow bags on top of a plastic sheet?
@@84tilburg No, it needs drainage. Otherwise you'll have bad anaerobic microbes growing. I'd rather use plywood.
Thanks so much for your help!

I think you meant to post this question on another video.
I use nematodes on the egarden to keep out slugs and snails? Are they then bad for the soil and plants? Will they cause theses root nematodes?

I got creative with making the change in how I pronounce it on this video.
th-cam.com/video/fb70bV2ofr0/w-d-xo.html
Bother pronunciations are common and therefore valid in my book. I regularly switch between using both.
Pretty ignorant statement... Besides, you know exactly what he's referring to!
Soil solitization kills all the wonderful microbiology you worked so hard to keep.
And that's why I've been strongly speaking out against it. But for 9 years I did as IFAS recommended, and was dedicated to solarizing all summer and every summer. It did more harm than good, as I explained in my most recent videos.
Here's the latest episode, where I talk about this with a Soil Food Web consultant. th-cam.com/video/pa1X7e1I-FU/w-d-xo.html
Nematodes will absolutely kill your plants. I would rather sterilize everything and start over, than deal with them.
Well, he didn't mention the only way to remove pest nematodes, and his second vid didn't eventuate
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the best way to manage RKNs. I appreciate your input.
