I had someone tell me that I could not sell ferns and hosta in the same
nursery and not have nematodes in the hosta root system. Although I
specialize in shade plants I do not sell hosta. For one thing everyone and
their grandmother are doing a fine job specializing in hosta. No need for me
to jump into that tank. Also I do not want one of the "hosta Experts"
condemning my nursery for carrying hosta with nematodes.
Gene,
That sounds like a sensible way to go to me. Unfortunately the bed that I
have that has nematodes is about half ferns. They are ferns that were mostly
given to me from others gardens. I don't know if there is a connection but it
does look suspicious to me.
