Stephen Shirley replied to Nicola and Andy's discussion Nemasys Grow Your Own"We use the commercial version of Nemasys for vine weevil control - Nemasys L which we find extremely useful.
However it does have its drawbacks in that it is so temperature dependant and so (as suggested) we apply 4 times a year (twice in Spring and…"

Did more digging today, over half of the main plot done now.
