Ants in the veg patch

KingKenny77 · 2012-06-01 18:26:15

I seem to have a nest of ants somewhere in my little garden plot. I'm new to this, so can someone tell me if its good to have them or if they'll eat my leafy greens?! Thanks.

it is well known that they "farm" aphids to get sap but i have never had any problem with them in terms of crop loss so tend to leave them be.

Thanks Dardavle. As long they don't destroy my radishes. (I love my radishes.)
