Vine Weevil
Have spent part of today clearing pots of old compost and failed plants.
In one 4ltr pot there were *tens* of VW larvae - and no roots left at all:~(. I have no idea what was in the pot, as the label had disappeared over winter. Very frustrating. I thought VW season was May and again in August. If so, this is very early, no doubt due to the mild winter. So if anyone has pots of valued plants outside, it is not too early to check them out. I should also mention that, a couple of weeks ago, I found a VW beetle (the insect, not the car!) in a Cymbidium which had spent the summer outdoors. You have been warned ... -- Spider.
