Is this Pea Weevil?
of garden soil and lots of spent mushroom compost. Salad crops and herbs were growing in the bed last year. Peas were raised in a similar bed (3m away)  last year without problem. Thanks for any suggestions. Possibly vine weevils  Go out there with a torch by Topbird

Don't keep adding feed-turn it out and check for vine weevil grubs that may have been at the roots,it could be waterlogged,the roots could have got frozen in the winter-really if the top isn't growing- check the bottom Thanks - will post results by celia2

Pot worms
how do I get rid of pot worms.Its eating all my soft plants Not sure what you mean by pot worms, could it be vine weevils eating the roots? Earthworms would not damage living plant parts. I don't know about millipedes which are black often coiled up by Strewberry

Violas attacked.
unaffected. Sparrows? My tomatoes seem to be suffering like your violas - ragged leaves, holes etc. Can't see any caterpillars...hoping it's not vine weevil! I also don't like spraying chemicals unless completely unavoidable - I make up my own garlic spray by Cetti

leaf damage to container plants
eaten, with the damage starting either from outer edge of the leaf, or from circular holes in the middle of the leaf.  So far I can't find sign of vine weevil grubs or adults.  Any advice welcome! A lot of creatures are night feeders and I always suspect by Katy12

Strawberry plants dying
.any ideas? Check the compost for vine weevils, they are a major pest which eats the roots. Your plants will suddenly wilt and die once the root destruction becomes terminal. you might have some damage from the frost or cold wind,they do have a bit of die by Robmat
