    Hello. I emptied out a few of my terracotta pots yesterday ready to replant and found a couple of them had maggots in the soil. What are they, and is it safe to put the soil in the compost bin? Usually I would put the soil onto the veggie patch but I'm assuming this would be a bad idea? The pots had had annuals in. Any help greatly appreciated.

    That's them. Thank you for the advice, I'll get rid of the compost immediately.
