Re[2]: Ants in the compost


     Donna,
     
     In addition to everybody else's advice about keeping moist, etc., I 
     have found that tossing or stirring once a week at least helps keep 
     the buggers out of my pile. I don't think it's possible to keep them 
     away totally or forever, but disturbing their nests regularly keeps 
     them out of where I don't want them.
     
     Good luck

There is a  colony of ants swarming all over my compost, and when  I insert 
my rod to aerate the pile they get pretty riled up.  So far they have not 
gotten on me, and I don't want them to........ What to do?
If I add a layer of horse manure on top  will they get out  of there?
