    I have found over the last few days holes in the compost of some of my greenhouse plants.

    It looks like something has tunneled underneath the compost.

    Does anyone know if this could be slugs?

    Surely slugs would not make 2" diameter holes. I have holes in my front beds, and they are made by an animal. We have cats, foxes and a badger. In your case is the door open? If not, then perhaps mice. If yes, then perhaps a cat, or a fox, perhaps looking for worms.

    I want to know why my worms are so big, and move so fast, Usain Bolt eat your heart out. :D

    Thanks for that - think I've got almost the full set in my garden - missing the shelled one.:p
