Hello all

Much as I admire their amazing organizational talents,
ants are becoming more than serious competitors to us humans
- at least they are in our greenhouse and fruit garden.
Is the planet perhaps one huge ant-nest ?

You're too dry. Come and live in wet yorkshire - we have *no*
problem
with ants. I don't think we even have ants.

Agreed. I used to fight an annual fight with ants in the wrong places
in Surrey, and have not seen a solitary one since we moved to
Wensleydale fifteen years ago.

That is what's known as a tactical withdrawal, rather than a victory
:-)

Our problem is midges. But they harm the gardener, not the garden

let DET be your friend.
