I am also battling RKN in my raised bed garden. Have you grown your Sunn hemp long enough to notice if there has been any effect on the RKN?
Last summer I sowed one raised bed in Sunn hemp as a trial since it supposedly has nematicidal properties. It was chopped up when it reached 5' and tilled it in. There were fall carrots planted there but RKN aren't active in soil temps under 60-65 degrees so they're fine. I have three experimental tomato plants in that bed now so I guess I'll see if the hemp had any effect.
Fall planted clover here is a deer magnet which brings a whole new set of problems for the fall garden so no more clover here!
