I'm catching up on past e-mails. things get out of hand for me sometimes.
If you send an e-mail to me, and I don't answer, please, send again. I
sometimes lose things in the deluge of mail.

Root-knot - check the SFI website - CT supplies fungi that, if they are in
your compost, trap the nematodes. You need to add VAM for annuals, deciduous
trees and grasses, or ectomycorrhizal fungi for conifers. Beneficials nematodes
may come in the CT, if the beneficials are in the compost. Otherwise,
collecting them and putting them in the CT, or putting them in your compost is the
way to do this.
