I have been putting seaweed on my garden over the last couple of months, and today while doing some work at my raised bed I noticed a dead flat worm, can anyone tell me if the seaweed could have killed it, or if not what could have. It was lying on top of seaweed that I had put on the garden about four weeks ago

it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Great if it has killed it - they're such pests! -
Could it have been assaulted by the salt on the seaweed? Like salt on a slug?Comment

I do not know, but if you find the answer please keep us updated
At least it is not eating anythingI grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

That was my first thought VC but this seaweed had been down for about four weeks and it wasnt there yesterday, as I check the beds quite regularlyOriginally posted by veggiechicken View Postit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Thanks Nicos. Hadn't seen that although when I had my last plot I did correspond with Dr Brian Boag after having a problem with flatworm.
No sign of the blighters in my new plot thankfully.Comment

I've never seen one. I thought I had until I saw an actual piccie.
They look more like flattened leeches don't they?"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Never send a leech to compare
Really peculiar beasties. They can go from 2inches X 1/4 inch to an 8 inch needle like thing in a few secondsComment

Ewwww!
It's really quite sad hearing about all these non native invasive species taking hold isn't it?"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

It's the ease of spread that is really alarming. In my last plot my native worms were totally wiped out. Took a couple of years and loads of Fym before I saw any againComment
