Full Description
Nematode application methods – Nematodes are supplied as a powder, which is mixed with water and applied directly to the soil with :-
- Standard Packs of nematodes can be applied with a watering can fitted with a coarse rose (we recommend and sell the Fine as Rain no.14 rose) or with a hose-end feeder / EasyNem Applicator. N.B. Standard packs of Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer MUST be applied with a watering can and cannot be applied with a hose-end feeder / nematode applicator.
- Large Packs of nematodes can be applied with a watering can fitted with a coarse rose (we recommend and sell the Haws no.14 rose), but it is much easier to apply nematodes to larger areas with with a EasyNem Applicator, Hose-end Feeder / Nematode Applicator. N.B. The EasyNem Applicator and Hose-end Feeder are suitable for treating areas up to 200 sqm, but for larger jobs, we recommend using the Nematode Applicator i.e. for application to large lawns.
- For applying nematodes to larger areas i.e. over 200 sqm or for regular nematode application, use a Nematode Applicator.
- For larger Spraying Jobs i.e. for applying Nemasys Fruit and Vegetable Protection to hedges to control Box Tree Caterpillar, the 5 litre Rechargeable Sprayer is ideal.
Fine as Rain no.14 Rose – Watering cans need to be fitted with a coarse rose,which will allow the nematodes to flow easily. We recommend using the Haws Rose no.14, as not all roses are suitable – its large holes will not clog when applying nematodes.

We supply the Miracle Gro Hose-end Feeder as not all of them are suitable for applying nematodes.

The first time I used the EasyNem Applicator I was disappointed as it didn’t spray the nematodes as expected so I ended up using the watering can.
This year I thought to try it again but this time I removed the filter at the bottom of the uptake tube. IT WORKED BRILLIANTLY.
So if you buy this just remove the bottom filter and you’ll find it works well.

Very pleased with your service .. ordered Monday , arrived 10 am Thursday /today . Like the sprayer , it saves an awful lot of heavy work

I agree. It didn’t work with the filter on the bottom of the tube. When removed it was fine

I had high hopes for this product based on the reviews, however, the applicator chamber did not empty at all, so no nemaslug delivered to my veg plot. I have looked to remove the filter, but I cannot find one. I would be very grateful for any help with this, such as photos of said filter, this is a difficult and messy job and so I am obviously disappointed that this did not work.
Jon –
Thanks for the comments and sorry you have had problems. This product works off water pressure so forstly does it empty if you just run water through it? If it does them on the end of the tube that goes inside the bowl there is a small plastic filter which may need removing but we do nomrally rempve them for you. Let me know (jon@greengardener.co.uk) if it empties with just water and then I can advise. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener

I used this last year and bought an easy nem applicator that has so many settings and I now want to use it for seaweed spray. It would be handy to have more infor on using the hose end sprayer.
Jon –
Thanks for the message and we do include instructions for applying some of our other sprays with the applicator, but it is impossible to include instructions for all as it all depends on the dilution you need. I have emailed you instructions for our Root Success product which is applied at a rate of 20ml per 10 sqm. You should be able to work out the application timings for your spray from that. I hope this helps. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener

Excellent service was received. The product arrived on time and had very clear instructions with it. A very happy customer will definitely be purchasing from Green Gardener again. Thank you.

This year I ordered products to deal with blanket weed in our small pond and nematodes to deal with ants – we have a great number. The pond treatment Clarity was effective, as to the nematodes, it is hard to say as we treated fairly late in the season and the weather has now changed – we may have to await the next season. The EasyNem applicator worked well.

Hi. Am I supposed to set the dial around the lid of the applicator to a specific ml setting? Also the red nozzle on the end has various holes – which one should be at the top? Many thanks
Jon (verified owner) –
Thanks for the message and start the dial in the middle at 120ml and then turn it up or down depending on whether you want it to speed up or slow down. The spray setting i.e. the one looks like a sieve should be at the top. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener

Bought the EasyNem Applicator a while ago to apply ant nematodes to my lawn and was impressed with how easy it was to use.
After reading other reviews, I looked to remove the filter, but it didn’t have one so might’ve been removed for me prior to dispatch.
I did experiment with just water in the bowl so I could get a feel for how slow/fast the application rate was and how quickly I’d use up the solution on an area. My water pressure isn’t great, so I increased the application rate (easy to do with the dial on the top) until I got a good steady rate.
I think setting it up with just water paid dividends, as applying the Ant nematodes was quick and easy. I now use the applicator with liquid lawn fertilizer, liquid weedkiller, and iron phosphate (made into a solution) and it works brilliantly.
For applying any liquid treatment, I’d thoroughly recommend this applicator.
