Leatherjackets are the larvae of craneflies. They don't lay eggs themselves - they have to emerge as adults, and then the adults lay eggs. They aren't doing it in this weather. If you can keep the adults off somehow you won't have a problem next year. I wouldn't be surprised to find the nematodes persist for a while at least - or else how do they survive outside the lab & garden? Andy The question is how do you breed the leatherjacketnematodes? Nematodes for slugs can be a DIY process by collecting slugs and keeping them in moist/wet confined container until they die and then using the resultant mush in water. -- mailto: news {at} admac {dot] myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |
