Is this little thing really what's destroyed my gardens?

You might want to give Floralina a try as a rootstock. I had really good luck with it this year but I don't think it is very resistant to nematodes. It was also one of the better varieties as far as taking the grafts of the rootstock that were resistant to all three races of fusarium. So far I have seen no signs of fusarium or nematode damage to any of the grafts with Amelia or Multifort as rootstock; but they seem to have more problems with compatibility with some scion varieties. Although a lot of people like Maxifort I decided not to use it because I have all three types of fusarium in my garden.
