    Evening all,


    So this evening i was removing a Castor Oil plant from a medium sized pot when I noticed what to me look like Vine Weevil larvae


    I have attached a couple of photos


    Question - should I be cautious and dump all the compost/ soil too? My intention is to replace the Castor Oil plant with a mixture of spring and summer flowering bulbs

    Yes. Very carefully dump all the compost and the plant into a bag and put it in your rubbish bin. Scrub out the pot before using it again, maybe use Jeyes fluid on it.

    or else just microwave it!

    or spread it out on a tarp or similar on your lawn and let the birds pick through it.
