Here I am half way through moving the three compost heaps, getting ready to move the chicken run. I am wanting to redesign the layout so that it is surrounded by more vegie gardens. The compost heaps will need to move to other areas of the garden.
While digging the compost I found these in the bottom of each pile, they were huge the largest I have ever seen.
They are called curl grubs and can do some damage to the roots of some plants in the garden. Needles to say they were not going to stay at my place any longer so they were dispatched to the girls immediately. The girls had a wonderful time they must of had around four each! I couldn't hold one in my hand for the photo as the slow pulsating movement made me feel sick. Mark had no qualms whatsoever, the bottom picture is him with one of the larger curl grubs in his hand. YUK!
