I tried pointing-out to him (her?) that it could wait till the next transplant, but his soil level was low, so I understand his dilema, lol. I am kinda curious why they were'nt transplanted, too. Perhaps no larger pots, or not enough soil...?

Regardless, no harm in what was done, and the plants will love the fresh meat. (roadkill is added to some potting mixes) Should be just a couple of days before the roots acclimate, and normal growth returns. I'd start looking for larger pots, though, lol.
