Default fire ants in veggie garden

Yes, and you keep calling things non-toxic. They ARE toxic, but they are
natural. Wording is important when referring to poisons. All poisons are
toxic, even natural ones. Arsenic is natural, but I'd never call it non-toxic.

Not trying to be argumentative, but for people beginning an organic program,
these terms are key.

That website's stuff (and his books - I have Organic Manual by Howard
Garrett) are as non-toxic as recipes go that I've seen. He doesn't, for
instance, give instructions on Sulphur for use.
