Root Knot Nematodes (RKN)

I started a thread in the General Discussion section here called, "When To Pull Them" http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=41682 The discussion soon turned to RKN. I want to start this thread in the correct section with the title not being misleading.

I want to share pictures along the way as well as everything I learn on how to combat these nuisances. I hope to read info and see pictures that you all share as well. If you see something I'm doing wrong - let me know.

I'll start with a picture that shows what RKN does to roots of many vegetables and fruit. The first picture is a tomato plant's roots heavily infected with RKN.

The second and third pictures are of a 45'x45' garden being solarized as of today.
