Ants in compost bin ready to fly
This year we had two of the compost bins at our Stokes Wood Allotment Composting Demonstration site infested with ants and decided to let them carry on with their lives as we have plenty of other bins in use. In one of the bins they have now reached the stage where flying ants have appeared on the surface. What is interesting from the composting perspective is how fine they have made the compost in their nest.
