Re: Re: Re: Beetle eating rose blooms

Thanks, Pam.  I assume you do this as a preventative? Or did you start doing it because you had problems with these nasties?

You drop the sponge w/ the nematodes in water to let them loose
then<br>spray your lawn and beds w/ them. Haven't had an iris borer in 5
years!<br>Good stuff. And no fleas to bother my angel. Could get
