I have successfully made some comfrey fertilizer following Monty's instructions but found it crawling with strange creatures that are about quarter to half an inch long with long tails (a bit like fat worms) I've never seen anything like them before - are you able to identify them please - and are they harmless?!

Thanking you

Sound like mosie/gnat larvae to me, also; we have lots in the rain butt. uite harmless to p[lants and they will die when you water them on the plants.
