HELP! Ants in my soil when I pulled up my radishes.

Here... I just ordered it here.

I chose usps shipping for $12 priority will be here in 2-3 business days. It was the largest one I found that didn't have ridiculous shipping charges. The other sites I saw had decent prices on the stuff for 1.5lb-15lb..... the shipping was like $15-$25 though!!!

Diatomaceous Earth

I got it shipped here for a total $23.75

Yea you got it!!

Yeah, that does sound expensive, sorry. Do you have a fellow gardener who you could share it with to help with costs?

Let us know how it works!

I've never had boiled radishes...LOL.

Try grilling or baking radishes. Wrap them in foil first so they steam in their own juice. An interesting texture and flavor.

I just bought raddishes at the market...thanks for the tip. I totally love them raw, but I am very curious about your method of cooking them.

Thank you!

I bought food grade DE for my chickens, and decided to put it on all the ant hills I saw. This morning I found new ant hills in the exact spots I put all the DE.

Am I doing something wrong? I dumped a bunch on each hill!!!

I don't think it kills them immediately. Give it time.

I am reapplying each week after we cut the grass and as new ones appear.
