My Tatanka Seed got eaten alive (look at my last two videos) just after breaching soil! How did this happen? Was the environment to moist?

Too me that looks like soil mites. They eat and break down dead plant matter. Doubt they'd be feasting on it if it wasn't already decomposing. Too some they are considered beneficial nematodes(mainly outdoor gardeners). They are a sign of ideal medium for plant life.

Hello friend, beautiful fantastic shot. I really believe that the seed is "rotted" and consequently attacked, probably because the soil is too moist. nothing serious put a new seed and try again! good luck

soil was likely too wet for too long... or bad soil brought the pests in... etc etc.. diatomaceous Earth is something you should look into... non-chemcial and tears the hell outa bugs when they get it on them. the dehydrate or get cut up etc. Get Food grade... not filter grade or it is poisonous, lol.
