@Eyes on Fire I found out what it is .
It is poo from a Curl grub .
Curl grubs are the larvae of different species of beetle including the African Black Beetle, the blackheaded pasture cockchafer, Christmas beetles and Scarab beetles. The larvae feed on dead plant material and the live roots or stems of a broad range of plants including lawns. They are white or pale cream in colour with a brown head and greyish end. They grow to around 2.5cm long and are sometimes mistaken for witchetty grubs. It is their habit of curling up into a “C” shape that gives them their common name.
As the curl grubs feed, plants and lawns fail to perform well and often appear to need watering despite the ground still being moist. In heavy infestations brown patches will appear in a lawn and the grass when pulled will come away in handfuls. In pots, a heavy infestation of curl grubs can eat the entire root system of a plant.
Now I don't have any problem with them in my pots as I find them in my yard . Now I am thinking because it eats plant matter it must be like worm castings . I found the biggest pile of poo under old banana plants I had cut down . So i am going to cut more down and pile them up to see if I can get them back again , I don't see why not .
