a few years ago, I discovered a large bed of fairly mature Hosta 'Gold
Standard' (60) plants had become completly infested with Nematodes.
After distroying the plants, I let the soil stand and the following
three springs , drenched the area with cholorox undiluted. I let the
spot sit and a year later planted parts of the area. It has so far
displayed no more problems
