- This video is for all growers who are vegetable gardening in the south or vegetable gardening in tropics. Gardening in sandy soil can be a challenge in its own right as we try to get water and nutrients to stay put but there's a hidden villain in that soil that will prevent even your best efforts from reaching its full potential. If your garden seems to have gotten less productive rather than more, if your wondering why are tomato roots bumpy, and you are simply looking for videos on florida gardening for beginners as you prepare to grow for the first time you will find useful organic nematode control that is safe and practical on a small scale like a summer cover crop mix or growing in containers.

Thanks so much! Really informative and helpful
I’ve noticed root knot nematodes more and more here in central Texas in my raised beds and grow bags. I heard a really good cover crop for them is Kodiak brown mustard. From my understanding you have to wait for about 50% of it to flower then chop it all down and mix it into the soil where it releases gasses that will kill the root knot nematodes. I’m going to try it and see how it works.
If you have been getting less freezes then it makes perfect sense that they are moving in. That's what keeps them in check for more northern states. The USDA just shifted a bunch of zones this year due to things warming... Mustard is definitely a good one to incorporate.
I'm glad you mentioned putting a marigold next to the tomato plat. I did that this year thinking I was helping. Thanks for telling me I'm wasting my time. 😗 Florida gardening is tough. I really appreciate your channel!
Its an easy mistake to make, not detrimental just not helpful in the way we intended it to. Its not technically wrong, most resources just don't explain the mechanism all the way so then its implemented incorrectly. Now you know!
Great video. We’re new to Florida so still learning even though we grew all our own food for the most part in a garden the size of a football field. I do have a suggestion for a video if you can make one: please make a video about chicken feed using perennial plants as a supplement. It seems like there might be a couple of healthy things for them that grow year round. Thank you.
Perfect timing, I just pulled one of the worst looking tomato plants I've seen, it was better boy, supposedly nematode resistant and in the one bed I solarized this summer, thanks for the info!! I like the crab meal added to the plant idea!
The better boy can be but any one solution is not full proof. That's why it takes as many of those tools as possible to effectively deal with it. Happy gardening!
Wow, thanks Elise. This was so informative. I found nematodes on the roots of my Seminole pumpkins and okra. They were planted in the very sandy parts of my yard. The Seminoles of course went wild and migrated to the sandy areas. Those were covered in nematodes. I pulled them all out and threw them away. BUT, still have Okra growing so I guess I need to pull those also.
If they are producing you can always leave them until end of season. Thats why all these little tools like crop rotation or cover crops etc all play a part. They we always be there and we will always be growing!
Thank you! I pulled up my tomato plants in my favorite raised bed and found them infected with these. I was just wondering about what to do so I really appreciate your advice!
Glad you found this at the right time!
Really informative even for us long-time gardeners.
Look up lactic acid for rootknot nematode control.
helpful thanks elise!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Great video lots of good info. Lost to many fig trees to nematodes.
Such great info!
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative Thankyou.
Very welcome
Great info..esp on the marigolds which I have all over my garden but wasn’t utilizing them
easy thing to not know : ) but now you do!
do you sell cuttings? im in pinellas county and have just started my garden!
I honestly didn't know these existed and am not looking forward to experiencing them but good to know what to do when they arise.
yes. much easier to know and plan then play catch up after!
Can you use the chitin from shrimp meal as well?
You're right. After a while I get RKN in my containerized plants to include figs grown in nothing but organic media (except some perlite). I've seen/read that adding organic material helps to combat RKN but never with an explanation as to why. By any chance, would you happen to know?
Its just an environment situation. They prefer well drained sandy soils. Increasing organic matter means the soil will hold moisture better making it less favorable of an environment for them.
Pocket gophers have been the next worst pest in are garden as well.
Always something : )
Bat Guano? It was funny that you mentioned Batman and Robin; as I have heard, bats' primary food source is insects. Insect shells have Chitin, as do crab shells, but due to the processing of insects as food for bats, you do not need to use as much. Do you have any thoughts?
Most of my garden is in containers now and I use pavers to keep them off the ground and only use compost I make and peat moss.
Good tools to use as part of your garden plan : )
Can I plant potatoes in the bed that I grew sweet potatoes in previously?
yes they are totally separate plant families. though certain pests can overlap.
These things have been a nightmare for us the first year was perfect no issues 3 years later and we can barely grow anything to harvest able size ...
it takes time for their populations to build up in the soil to harmful levels. Try implementing as many of these techniques as possible, especially the cover crop and beneficial soil biology aspects.
Are there Nematodes that eat bigger Nematodes?
Yes
Boy this is hard to watch when your JUST looking for a quick answer ....
