Howdy Ya'll I have a issue with ants in my compost pile what would be a good way to get rid of them so I can get a healthy compost pile going without the ants killing all the benificial bugs?
What do you have in the original pile? I would just compost the manure in there with it, it would add nitrogen nicely, unless it's mainly greens in the original pile. After wetting the pile, I'd cover the pile with some black plastic to create a welcoming environment for your creepy crawlies.
That's what I was thinking.I believe that Oleander leaves/branches contain a toxin that may not be beneficial in your compost pile.
