fire ants in veggie garden
I started preparing my garden beds for my veggies and have discovered that
both beds have become the home to fire ants. I need a non-toxic (I will be eating what grows in that soil!) way to get rid of them. Anyone have any suggestions? This /is/ Texas, so I'm sure someone out there has had this same problem. Fire ants....I hate them! ~ Michelle Ryan |

www.dirtdoctor.com is Howard Garrett's website - organic landscape architect
up Dallas way. He has a couple mixes for fire ants that all include orange oil and, like everything on his site, are non-toxic. -- John T.

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. On Tue, 25 Mar 2003 19:36:41 -0600, "John T.

He doesn't, for instance, give instructions on Sulphur for use. |
