Oh, yes at my homemade compost always grow seeds without my will, especially tomatoes :)
Good to know I'm not the only one 😂
You seem to be doing fine
I am, but I need to take it slow. And I can't bend, or kneel for too long, carry stuff and so on. After about half an hour or so, I need to go lie down. Because of that, I don't really get a lot of work done.
Fortunately, my wife is the best. She doesn't really like gardening, but she knows what it means to me, so I get quite a lot of help from her 👍
For the ants... finding the entrant of their nest is the big problem. I think it's somewhere in the middle or at the bottom of one of my raised beds.
I actually just read about Diatomaceous earth. We have some, since it works great against parasites in chicken.
Might give it a try. problem is that those ants are all over my raised beds. If I water the beds in the morning, I can spread Diatomaceous earth on them, but they often need to be watered again in the evening, if not, the next morning - means I need to start all over again 😂
But I'm definitely gonna give it a try. I've tried everything else already.
Same happened to me last year, I literally tried every trick in the book. And all of a sudden, they were gone. Too bad I don't remember what scared them away in the end 🤦♀️
That's what partners are for, help us out :) And you seem to have found a very nice one!
I had a similar experience with ants in my house and I am pretty sure that they left on their own and will be back at some point! They may have a pattern or something triggers a change in their route, can't tell for sure. I wouldn't know what else to tell you except good luck!
Thanks 👍
