I will go and have a dig around, but I haven't seen anything like
this. The only crawlies I have seen in any quantity are earthworms
and slaters.

The plants disappear entirely, it is not like they wilt and die
off slowly. Maybe I should let the ducks go through it, there
isn't much left that they would harm.
