Re: Eggplant ants

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Thanks for answering, I too have never received
answers from anyone concerning my problems. I've tried
everything natural to discourage the ants so I'm
moving on to biological means. My father-in-law
suggested I just put Ortho ant killer around the
eggplants base. Then the ants won't be able to even
get to the flowers to eat the stems off. I'll let you
know how it goes but if anyone wants to suggest
something natural before I use the Ortho stuff, let me
know!!
