No dig gardening

Sadly yes I have flatworms, the only advice I can give is how to catch them, keep a small area in your garden damp and cover with a piece of black plastic, e.g. a bin bag, check every day and if you are unfortunate to find one place in a small container anything that will a low you to pour some vinegar over it and leave it to dissolve apparently if you try to kill them by cutting them in half you finish up with two, and be careful when handling, they can give a caustic burn if you have sensitive skin

Thanks for the tip on how to try and catch them. I've so far found two on my plot and have taken the route I take with all pesky beasties. Pop it on the road and give it a good stamp.

So if each bit turns into a new flatworm - how many bits do you stomp them into?

What!? They turn in to new worms? How!?! There was nothing left of it? I'm guessing the one that we drove over with the car at least won't have regenerated.

Seriously? What sort of crazy mutant is this!?

I have flatworms as well. I knew they were around but while clearing the greenhouse from last year's growth I found them under pots and growbags. Chickens have eaten them,hope the girls will be fine?
