Default Ant problem

Hi,


Yep, well the ants may be due to rain coming or the fact that your
place is the only one with moisture around.

However, you say that .....

I grow organically,


But then say .....

I've tried 'ant sand'


Correct me if I'm wrong but "Ant Sand" contains Chlorpyrifos which is
the last thing you want around "veges" etc, whether growing organically
or not. If you are using/have used Chlorpyrifos, which is probably the
most toxic Organochlorine known, then I wouldn't be consuming anything
from your garden for years.........


Cheers,
David.
