T & M OFFER FOR MAY

I have received my plug plants on Friday. I have to say - I'm a bit dissapointed..

They were soooo small, they looked like planted in thimbles.

So I had to go and buy some smal flowerpots and compost for plug plants which did not only take extra time but extra money as well, because it said in the instructions you can not plant the small plugs immediatedly in the ground.

All in all it was not such a bargain.

I want to get rid of them but I don't want to use the ant killer in the compost that I put later on my veg beds!!

That is okay than - but what if I put the compost (with some ants in) on my veg beds?

Do they start building nests or are they just wandering away?

I'm still a bit worried.....

I don't want to use ant killers (Poison) but what can I do?

Would  they do any harm if I use the compost in the garden?

Can anybody help please....

Talkback: Slugs

You can read everywhere that you should collect the slugs and snails,
with a torch, with newspaper sheets, cabbage leaves...
BUT nobody tells me what to do with the collected animals.
I don't want to kill them, I don't have chicken or ducks, so what to do with them??????????????
I normally collect them and bring them to a park round the corner but I'm afraid that they come back....

Talkback: Ants

I forgot to write - it worked with the baking powder and it also seems to work with bicarb soda!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talkback: Ants

I have ants in my composter, there must be millions!! I don't want to use chemical treatment because I think it wouldn't be very good for my compost.
I will try the trick with the polenta. I have tried baking powder for the pavement gaps - but I'm not sure whether the powder would be good for the compost.
Has anyone an idea what to use to get rid of these little intruders?
Oh - and what are Sivermints????

How can I get rid of ants in my compost bin?
