| I posted this in G in Oz but I find I have there small whirte worms under the pot plants as well as LOADS of slaters. I have used slater killer powder on and under most of the pots, but what are these others and how do I kill them? |

| Well no idea really and you've probably already tried to fix the problem (if its a problem - like it looks as though they are in the pots and affecting drainage or chewing roots.) Grub killer such as that designed for lawn grubs might work but at a diluted rate as I don't know what impact it would have on potplants. And after all this stuff is pretty toxic. Very very dilute condy's crystals in water will usually cause earthworms to evacuate pots. Or plunging the pots in water for 15 minutes may also drown worms/grubs or at least bring them out. |
