I really appreciate the offer. I'm in east central Georgia (Augusta area) and have to thinnk long and hard for the last time I was in Alabama. Certainly nothing against Alabama but I just don't travel much.
But if I do, I'll take you up on the offer.

The potted tomatoes are away from the garden (up by the house) and are on pallets. So far I've had no problems with them.
Looking back, I really think my nematode problems began when I had a load of top soil brought in as I was converting the garden to raised beds. Before then I had not one bit of nematode problems over years.
