Woodlice in Pots
"Klaus G7RTI" wrote in message om... "Franz Heymann" wrote in message ... "les" wrote in message ... I have just emptied out some pots in which I had spring flowering plants, (daffodils and primula). I found lots of woodlice in the compost. Do these woodlice damage the plants? Do they eat the roots? Is it safe to use the compost in the garden? Your help would be appreciated. Woodlice are on the side of the angels. Franz I have just harvested about one third cube metre of compost, lovely crumbly stuff, teeming with woodlice, worms, ants, etc. etc. Doesn't worry me. Good stuff. Franz |
