I just investigated a pot of seeds I had sown - no sign of them, and found tiny 1/2cm long white wriggly worm-like things in the compost. Any idea what they are and would they have eaten the seeds? It was a new bag of seed compost.

Hello Grajean. If they have a dark head - tiny as they are, they could be the larvae of sciarid flies (fungus gnats). These can damage seedlings. The adult flies - tiny black things - are harmless but can be a complete nuisance just flying about.
