Does anyone have any ideas for getting rid of nematodes? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Liley, I think you drench with molassas and water, or dig em up in winter and treat the soil. I think ? Peter r.

African marigolds planted around the roses could be the answer.
They are known to repel nematodes.

There are a couple of things you can do with mustard -
use it as a bait plant (they love it apparently), then pull the plants up and burn them, or till them into the soil, where it will act as a fumigant.

Unfortunately, any treatment you use will also affect the worms - they're a nematode too!
