RE: Ant in my vegi garden !!. Posted 762 days ago I was always very sceptical re. ants damaging actual fruit and veg's until about a fortnight ago when I watched them ACTUALLY EATING the just forming lemonades. The old-fashioned answer is to smear a generous layer of vasoline around the trunk of the plant, at least three inches long, and starting about the same above the ground. Hope this helps a bit. |
