    I still have my growbags with compost from last year still in them - need to clear them out when the weather gets warmer and get them ready for this year - anyway, one of them has accrued a few lodgers over the winter that I am intrigued to know what they are?

    Any ideas?

      Ah, so nothing sinister and nothing worth keeping then. Does this suggest that the compost still has some usable nutrient content?

      They'll grow in any old soil, so they're not really an indicator i'm afraid.

          Serve them with an eviction notice, FC (squatting is illegal).

              Go and do it now FCor they'll have babies overnight. They are so prolific, thank goodness they are easy to spot once you know,

              Blimey! Should I really subject the neighbours to the sight of me, half naked, in my bed shorts just to whip a few weeds out?

              Nah, I can't inflict that sort of pain on my neighbours eyes - they are good people! :biggrin:

              They are contained in a growbag of spent compost Jenny, so they aren't going anywhere for now. I'll oik them out before I cast the remaining compost out over the borders to rot down.
