Re: Ants Invading Meager Garden Space

Are the ants bothering anything? We have ants all over our
veggie garden, and they don't seem to do much damage. Awhile
back we had a long thread about ants in compost piles, and
I think the upshot was that you can't really get rid of them,
but if you turn the pile often, it disturbs their nest and
they go elsewhere. I know ants often farm aphids, and if you
dislodge the aphids they have to start all over again, so you
might look for aphids, or maybe even whiteflies. I don't know
of any ant barriers that people have used and said worked.
Anyone else out there have advice?
