Hi There
I am new to worm farming and i didnt know where to start but just wanted to give it a go. So thought i would have a search around the internet to see what info was available and couldnt really find much! However i did find a really great book to download which was incredibly informative and really easy to read. Now I am so excited as i have a better understanding as a complete novice and i highly recommend it to anyone starting out.
I found it under this website: Beginners Guide to Starting a Worm Farm

would appreciate any further advice from anyone.

We are assuming it's a worm? Is it detrimental to the plant in any way

many
of the little soil granules that the pot no longer even sits upright....
that's a lot of serious pushing out.


I would have thought if you just take it out of the pot without
disturbing the root ball you would find the culprit. Funny one though.

I agree, you need to take it out of it's pot and see what is causing the
problem. Be careful though, do it in a bucket, I heard of a case of
something nasty lurking in a pot.
