Subject: Creatures of the deep

Hi all,

I've noticed some strange creatures in my Sarra trays. They are long (about
4 - 6 inches) worms, less than 1 mm thick. They live in the water, mainly
under the pots. When disturbed, they wriggle around and look for the safety
of back under the pot. Does anyone know what they may be? Are the good?,
bad? or neither? What do they feed on? If its on algae, this would be good.
If its on the roots of my Sarras, or even the mix my Sarras are in
(peat/sand mix), that's not so good. Can anyone please help?

Also, about 6 months ago I posted some info regarding Trichoderma, the
"friendly" fungus. The results are startling - if anyone wants details,
e-mail me privately and I will send some Word files on the topic.
