"Anne Jackson" wrote in message ... The message from K contains these words: We lost all out earthworms a few years ago, when New Zealand flatworms appeared over here. That was when I bought my wormery, and we're about back to normal now...haven't seen a flatworm in last past couple of years. UK earthworms had no difficulty in establishing themselves in NZ despite the presumable presence of the flatworms, so it seems logical that your earthworm population should have settled UK earthworms, in NZ? Didn't NZ have its own worm population? One would presume that, in NZ, there would be something that would predate on the flatworms? The only thing that the Soil Association labs could find, in this country, that predated on flatworms was one species of beetle... I'm not great at beetle identification... G I haven't heard anything about flatworms for some years, do you think they have all died off? Alan |
