There's always containers. Lately I just save the bags that fertilizers and potting mixes come in, and put the bag between the pot and the ground, and I have a barrier that is impenetrable to RKN.Solarizing doesn't work too well. Even if I solarize, that's only really good for about 4 months here before they are reinfested, and we should have a 9 month season.
Try using the plastic bags with your pots set on top, and new fresh potting mix in the pot. Cheap, easy, no more RKN threat.
