Joy Re: Bananas & Diatomaceous Earth....

Is ok Chris...

Hi All!

I used the cheap beer method that Jack Daw recommended to clear the dirt of ants out of the dirt I removed my banana plant from...Thank Goodness they weren't Fire Ants...Yee-Ow!!
I now have to rebalance the soil's Ph to bring it usable again.

It doesn't kill the ants, but they don't like the change in Ph & move elsewhere...(ie out of my pots)!! THANKS JACK!!

I have a HEAVY line of DE around my foundation & dusted in to the window tracks & other misc. places.

Just hoping to get them under control where they can do their thing & I can do mine, harmoniously.

Have a great Wednesday!! ~Cheryl

Goodbye Earl... Hilarious!!!
