Root Knot Nematodes are one of the hidden pests that can be hard to recognise until it is too late. We have started to treat some of the beds with Neem after discovering an outbreak of them in a few. There is also some information on Marigolds & molasses as they can also be used to treat them naturally.
UPDATE……..
I found using Mustard greens as green manure that is dug through the bed to be a much better control option. It has the bonus of also adding organic matter back into the soil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaA-loByJg8
