A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Plant pests and problems keep nematodes from your tomatoes

I've been doing alot of research lately about tomatoes and the problem most people are asking about are nematoads and the way to get rid of them?. One thing I have found is to plant marigolds around the tomatoes. What a cheap and simple thing to do huh?! Now what this does is the marigolds scent from the flowers and leavs roots, etc... Are I guess posinus to the nemetoads and they wont go near it. And it kills them off. And just one planting of marigolds from what i found will last about 3 YEARS! just simply when the plants die just turn them into the soil. And that should work I just got done planting some in my grandmas vegetable garden. I have a link to where I found this e-book and it also helps identify other things that go wrong with the tomatoes so if you would like a link to it send me a pm...
