Re: Ants in compost

you all don't know what a comfort it is to know there are others who
feel like i do...

a kinda funny story...i was picking grub worms out of the garden one day
since they really dig at my potatoes and my son asked me what i was
doing; i answered that i was digging grubs for the chickens...he said,
"i'll bet the grubs don't like that very much!"

needless to say, i haven't killed anything since...and living in florida
that is not an easy claim to make...
