Apparently, if you microwave peat at full blast for something like 15
minutes, sciara fly eggs explode. Sciara fly maggots are a real
nuisance for all seedlings and pygmy Drosera, and prevention is better
than cure.

Am I right in thinking that your American Robin is not the same as the cute,
red-breasted, blob shaped, aggressive, adulterous, philandering, cannibalistic
bird that our fellow Europeans across 'The Sleeve' allegedly eat for dinner?
The main compost disturber in my patch is the Eurasian Blackbird.

Good Growing, Nigel Hurneyman
