This is by far the most practical / no BS gardening video I've seen in years. THANK YOU!

[obviouslytwou]

I've just put a few signs up saying slugs will be made into compost. Had no problems since

[BackrowErnie]

I’ve binged on anti-slug hack videos and watched countless channels- yours is by far the best. You’re not only knowledgeable but an outstanding communicator- thank you!

[Skutten]

You should repost this excellent video of how to grow your own nematodes every spring to get people to use more effective and naturefriendly ways to get rid of slugs 👍👍👍

As a biologist I can see this being a long term and very effective soil treatment. Other factors may increase or decrease the results, such as concentration.

I live in a clay soil area and slugs own this place. Planted out marigolds, woke up with 1/2 of them gone, flowers and leaves. Following night, at 11pm, went out with a torch, a plastic tub with hot and very salty water, and metal pegs to pick the slugs up. picked about 500 slugs 😫 Yes I was counting. these are just the ones I found at that particular time! They we’re eating all my plants and flowers. They were on my mint plants, onions/chives, leeks and all. No plant is slug proof at all. I’m sick of them. Garden Isn’t even that big.

Cracking video, man.
I don't use any tap water in my vegetable gardens so there are probably a decent amount of nematodes multiplying in the soil. Everything seems healthier.
Last year when it was watered by tap water there were slugs all over the place but this year very few.

Thank you! I will definitely be looking for slugs fitting this description and make the nematode slurry. I much prefer this to anything inorganic or packaged. Very useful and practical information!

[Fullerrooted]

We're battling slugs atm, this is by far the most practical method I've seen, imo.
Cheers Tony 🌱

[Raul]

you can't get nema slug in the US even though that's where the nematode was discovered.
Yes this episode is definitely of interest. I've been wondering how to cultivate these little critters. So thanks. and I just ordered your book

[fletchybabe]

Hi Tony, how long do the sugs need to stay in the sealed bucket before they're decomposed enough to use please? 😁🌱🐌☀️

[damianjones]

This is very helpful Tony, we need a solution for our community garden. Nearly everything we have planted this year has been decimated by slugs.
I will be suggesting this solution asap!

[yasminhufflepuff]

Thankyou so much for this information I'll be getting on it as soon as I have a tub with a lid. Thankyou

[CaitlinJBall]

This is going to come in handy, thank you so much for the upload.

[philandrews]

Nothing less than brilliant, I have watched dozens of videos claiming that they have the answer. your video is the best and the most logical solution. Thanks for sharing, all the best, Phil.

[reneberkhof]

Hello, I started two weeks back with these nematodes. two small questions: Is it normal it takes two weeks before the last slug is dead and how much more time do I have to wait before spreading the water out in my garden? How long will these nematodes live in my basket?

[bobplum]

great video as usual i am learning so much from you Tony thank you.

[paulk]

What an excellent idea thank you. We will finally conquer the pesky slugs.

[judithbeavis]

Thanks Tony for giving me the link to this video, I will be out looking for any slugs like this and giving it a go. Really need to get rid of these things, I think they must be the bane of all growers lives.

[amblonyxx]

Not slug related but I was stoked today to finally get to the point in my garden where some predators were helping me out with pest control. Had a few ladybirds picking aphids off one of my roses! The others are all clean and healthy!
