Nematodes among us
Here you will find informative and useful information all about Nematodes from our very own Mark Crawford.
Sometimes you just don't know what is going on with your plants...
Are any of these symptoms ringing a bell: slow growing, wilted, spotty and yellowing leaves, intolerant to the heat, or low producing? Well check that root ball ... and if it looks knotty like the above picture then you have NEMATODES.
Not to worry, LHCG's friendly and extremely knowledgable garden manager, Mark Crawford, has some help for us!
The microscopic worms are not only the most abundant animal species on earth, they also make up four-fifths of animal life on this planet.
