Title: What are these little blighters?
Post by: JohnnyD on May 18, 2016, 10:38:44 AM

Found these under pots on top of sand plunge in alpine house.They are about 1cm long.
Does anyone recognise them?
Are they a major problem?
How do I get rid of them?

Any advice welcome,
JohnnyD

They are called pot worms and aren't a problem.

Just stop taking so much pot, John.

Maybe they could be grilled and eaten on toast as a new part of the training regime? ;D
