The white stuff has mysteriously quit appearing, but the star is still there. Still no change is size either.

Thank you, Gayle!! We can use distilled water to mix with the nematodes, but our regular water that we use on the lawn is chlorinated. Not much to do about that unless we try to filter it, which would take a pretty large filter.

(Kinda off the subject, but not really: A friend gave me some sour dough starter and I didn't know better and used warm chorlinated water when I fed the starter the first time, and thank goodness, it did not kill the culture. I used distilled water the second feeding and it perked right up and was very active. Reason I'm telling you this, I'm not sure our water has a very high level of chlorine, so it may not hurt the nematodes to use it to water the yard. Hopefully!)

Hi Marilyn,
I think I misled you about the chlorinated water - use distilled when you mix the nematode dirt with water - before spraying it on. The nematode dirt has to set in the water for 30 minutes - that's when the chlorine might kill them or some of them. After 30 minutes, then you stain the dirt out of the water - the nematodes are microscopic and they go with the water. Then you spray them on the yard. When spraying it on the yard or watering the yard, regular chlorinated water is just fine and the nematodes will be just fine!

Good luck.

That is strange, hope it is a sign of good luck.

All this talk about grass and dirt. We live in the country and if it grows its grows...LOLOL.

I know around town and in some subdivisions, people spend more on their lawns than I do on just about anything else. But it does look nice.

You can hijack my threads anytime..lol

What do these things all have in common?
