Grit is gravel. Nematodes- There are 2 kinds. So the short answer to your question is - No. You will need a certain kind to benefit the garden. The long answer is: First of all, all Nematodes are microscopic. And they all live in the soil, underground, you'll never see any of them. Second- their names are easy to keep straight: 1.) Beneficial Nematodes, AND 2.) Non-Beneficial Nematodes. The non-beneficial Nematodes work their way into plant roots and eventually cause the plants to die. If you dig up a dying plant, and look at the roots, you'll see the damage they cause. Along the root, usually toward the root ends, you'll see swollen areas that look like the root swallowed a small marble, or something. This swollen area cuts off any nutrients, and water to the plant. Which is why the plant dies. Luckily, those kinds of Nematodes aren't for sale, so there's really no chance of you buying any by mistake. Beneficial Nematodes are more carnivorous than vegetarian. They prey on lots of insects we humans don't like. They eat the eggs, and larvae of bothersome insects, and things like Slugs. They also help keep fleas and ticks under control bcuz they lay their eggs in the soil, and the Beneficial Nematodes eat the eggs, and larvae. But you'll still have the adults that have already made it into adulthood. Fire Ants fall prey to them in this same way too. Even termites. The trick is Beneficial Nematodes need moist soil to stay alive. So if you live in a very dry climate, odds are against you. And I believe they either go dormant, or die off in cold temperatures. So that makes them a bit difficult to manage, especially since you cannot see them. The point is, they can be expensive to continually add to large garden spaces. And they are so small, that you will need a lot of them to completely eradicate a big pest problem. Which is why people usually use Nematodes in conjunction with other means of pest control. For Slugs, using both Nematodes and Frogs is a good idea. Birds help with Slugs and Snails too, so add a bird feeder. Also, snail larvae are a good food source for Lightning Bugs if you live in an area with those beauties. In which case, the snails are a necessary evil. Or in Britain, the Hedgehogs love eating Slugs! So keeping a food source = slugs, is a MUST for the Hedgehogs! And they're so cute too!! So really, it's all about the ecosystem working together as a... well... as a system.. The Ecosystem. There's really no quick fix.
@@gardengatesopen ...the wood chips has created the new problem with slugs maybe. My garden area is organic and has been for decades. I don’t have hedgehogs, I have birdhouses And baths and fresh water for all. I’ve did the beer 🍻 thing with good luck . I’ve hand picked also. I’ll keep on! Thank you for the great info and clarity on applications of nematodes!
@Riverunner ha! I did go on a bit didn't I ?! Good to hear you're organic, and that you've had good luck with the beer too!! I'm all organic too. I tried the beer thing for snails, I must've not done it right, or else my snails are tea-totalers!! I've since stopped trying to work against them, and just work with them. For the few plants I HAVE to grow, which the snails want to demolish, I found using a layer of sharp crushed granite sand around the plant does keep them at bay. It also makes a good mulch, as we live in a dry Summer area. Are you in Britain? If so, I would be moving in some hedgehogs for sure!! Even though they are nocturnal, and I probably wouldn't see them, I would just love knowing they were out there!
@Riverunner just wondering - When you hand pick the slugs (and bravo for touching them btw!! I couldn't do that!!) Do you offer them up on a plate to the birds?! I just always thought that would be fun! I don't really have slugs, just a lot of snails, and they are easy to handle bcuz of their shells. I always toss them into my leaf compost pile, hoping they will have babies and feed my Lightning Bug larvae!!

Exactly what is GRIT,? And also , will any nematodes do for slugs?
Grit is gravel.
Nematodes-
There are 2 kinds.
So the short answer to your question is -
No.
You will need a certain kind to benefit the garden.
The long answer is:
First of all,
all Nematodes are microscopic.
And they all live in the soil, underground,
you'll never see any of them.
Second- their names are easy to keep straight:
1.) Beneficial Nematodes,
AND
2.) Non-Beneficial Nematodes.
The non-beneficial Nematodes work their way into plant roots and eventually cause the plants to die.
If you dig up a dying plant, and look at the roots, you'll see the damage they cause. Along the root, usually toward the root ends, you'll see swollen areas that look like the root swallowed a small marble, or something. This swollen area cuts off any nutrients, and water to the plant.
Which is why the plant dies.

So really, it's all about the
ecosystem working
together as a...

as a system..
The Ecosystem.
There's really no quick fix.

Hmmm? Why's the later episode didn't show the progress and revisit the gardens? :(
