We've been digging at our new allotment now for the past 3 weeks ( today it actually looks like we've made a difference!) and we keep digging up these catterpiller like things about an inch long and greeny/grey? Quite fat as well.
Can anyone tell us what they are and what we should do with them? Are they harmless or should we be removing them? :?:
