Oh I am so mad. Went out to pull up some radishes and the ants have gotten to them. Does cinnamon work to get rid of them?

It's worth a try.

Boric acid, just a few crystals will do. There are several previous threads that go deeper into the subject. What a Face

boric acid from the drugstore, NOT borax used in laundry. I think I killed my tree saplings planted this year.

Yes, that is correct. What a Face

On the boric acid. Do you put it with the plants or around the boxes on the outside? Will it hurt the earth worms?
