How can I monitor the effectiveness of beneficial nematodes in my garden?
As someone with a deep-rooted passion for organic gardening, I’ve recently begun using beneficial nematodes to combat specific pest issues. While I understand the theoretical benefits, I'm keen to learn how I can practically monitor their effectiveness in real-time. My garden is an ongoing experiment with native plant species, and I want to quantify the impact these nematodes have on pest populations. I’ve tried various methods of observation, but I’m looking for more structured approaches or metrics to determine if they’re indeed making a difference. Are there specific signs I should be on the lookout for, or any tools that can aid in this process? Any advice would be much appreciated!
