Thanks Pammy T. The trouble witha ants in pots is that they remove
the soil from round the roots and the plat may eventually die.
I was hoping for a few more helpful suggestions but see the thread's
gone off on a tangent! I'm sure you knew what I meant by no
chemicals!
I'm still hoping someone may have another idea of what to do without
resorting to HARMFUL chemicals!
