Say, folks, what happens when it comes to light that you have Vine
Weevils in your garden? Do other gardeners cross the road to avoid
you?

It's like this.. you spot some desirable plant in their weeviless
plot, and try to arrange a swap, offering in exchange, a pot of the
very rare primula you grew from seed you collected in the Himalaya. The
other gardener stares somewhere past your shoulder and mumbles "I've
just remembered I left the baby alone by the pond..got to
rush..byeeeee".


I crushed one more of those nasty beasties (no, not a child-abusing
gardener, a VW) on my way out the door this morning. The awful thing
had come into my porch.
Anyway, it got me thinking.
I would like to use nematodes to treat this infestation, rather than
chemicals. I will worry about sourcing those over teh week end as I
have no time to do that till then - I hope they are available in garden
centres, though I am not sure.
But what about quantities and application? Do I need to treat the
entire garden, or just the pots in front of the house, where I have
seen them?
What rate of application?
I'm being a little lazy here, as I do not have time to research that
till the week end, so input from you and other garden experts would be
hugely helpful.

Many thanks in advance!
