You just don't get it! We're not trying to add specific nematodes with
specific hosts. That's just not the intent. And once again you pull a
snippet out of context and exaggerate. The are no "magical" properties
advertised by SFI! But I guess it's obvious, that when you are wrong, you
just won't budge! Reminds me of your poke about Las Vegas not having
"hundreds" of associations, when you are clearly proven wrong you get
suddenly quiet or obtuse. So be it....one disagreement out of many posts
with common ground isn't bad....

Often one to ten nematodes per gallon -- often none at all -- & even those
few won't be the specific nematodes noted for attacking harmful insects,
so you might as well be adding vinegar worms. Plus if nematodes are to be
successfully introduced to a garden it must be done under specific
conditions of temperature & moisture & in their species' season at a time
when their host/prey is vulnerable. In context of teas the promise of
nematodes has no applicability, & the word is an "abracadabra" incantation
to insure sales from easy dupes who believe in merely magical principles
perpetrated specifically to sell teas by vendors who really don't like the
science.

And if you fell for the nematode line, did you also agree with that crazy
biddy's claim that the only reason no field study supports her claims is
because researchers & scientists sneak into the fields when no one's
watching & intentionally poison their plants because they malicioiusly
want to undermine her claims? If you believe such a paranoid scam artist
about how the horticultural extension studies poison their plants to "get"
her, then you're not qualified to judge who's an idjet with or without a
microscope; all ya need's a mirror.
