Hi everyone - back to the flea beetles again -
	I told my resident farm hand/ engineer / husband about the 
nematode idea. He's an ecologist at his day job and ventured the 
observation that it might not be such a good thing to introduce an 
organism not already present in our soil. He deals with the fall out 
from larger scale situations like this every day at work.
	Anyway - I was wondering if this issue had come up at SAWG or 
in other discussions of introducing beneficials elsewhwere. Is there 
any chance that artificially introducing beneficial insects can have 
any detrimental environmental effects? Just curious (and cautious) -
