OK back to plan B then. Thanks, don't want dead plants or ants and would
rather go the natural way. I am careful about what go in the compost.
Mulched leaves, coffee grounds, grass clippings mostly and some lime. I did
give the pile a hard kick today after the good rain we had last night. (It
was still moving-tomorrow I will throw in some more lime give it a good
turning and run fast!)

Lar is correct. You have to be careful about what you put in your compost
pile. I avoid any kind of material that has had any chemicals applied to
it. Some stuff can take years to become inert.
