Friend I believe. Pretty certain they eat rot and decaying matter. Forget what they are called though.

Wow, thanks Breeze & Dude. Apparently Necrophilia is only dangerous to raw dead flesh and other larvae that eat raw dead flesh.
I'm not growing any of that in my garden! |

Hmmm... makes us wonder just what you have "planted" in your garden...

Neighbors have wondered. Since being a tomato addict is not enough, I also dig hugelkulture beds. (Essentially a method of slow compost made of buried logs - great for Virginia clay with adjoining woods.)
A 4x8 bed looks just like a grave! I've learned not to dig them when my wife is away visiting family - the neighbors wonder! hugel.JPG |
