Still battling ants in my pots
after all was said and done my tomatoe plants grew a few much to my surprise. Last year I had no luck growing tomatoes. That being said after digging out my tomato plants at the bottom of the pots were carpenter ants. I shook most of them off the roots and used orange oil. I did notice that my pepper plants had none at the bottom I guess that's a good .

Ants in my Pots continues
Seems my little experiment has drawn ants in one of my pots. I put cow manure compost in as one of my pots for my pepper plants and only to discover ants at the bottom of the pot.
I'm assuming this is because of the cow poop. Anyway I repotted the pot and sprayed the ants with orange oil and was able to kill them off.
