Ants on strawberries

Thanks guys much appreciated.

Ants on strawberries

Hey all started growing strawberry this year they have just started to grow and are very small and green but i have just noticed now that there are ants crawling on them. Does anyone know if the ants will eat the strawberries and if so will they totally destroy the plant. Don't know what species they are all i know is they are tiny and dark brownish black. Any advice much appreciated.

    THANKS ALL>

potting compost

Hey all. This may be a real dumb question: Does compost go out of date. I have a bag of potting compost in the shed now for about 2 years its dry and clean i was gonna use it to pot some tomatoes or salad leaf or something would it still be ok to use. Many thanks.......TGG.
