| Ants and anthills
We've got a couple of anthills in our garden that we've left alone, they're now about a foot high with grass growing through them. Trouble is we want to grow some vegetables, and the best place is where these anthills are.
Is there any way we can perhaps move them to another part of the garden, or is that a silly idea?
About how deep into the soil does an ant colony go?
Does anybody know what's likely to happen if we first flatten (take the top off) the the anthills and then double dig the area. Will it totally destroy the colony or could they sort of regroup and start again? |
