I never had a problem with ant colonies under my plants (in my regular garden 'soil' aka evil clay) until I started creating perfect ant habitats with raised areas, sheltering rocks, and sandy/gravely soil for precious little plants.
Of course, it makes sense that the ants, previously relegated to places like cracks in the driveway, would find these garden areas quite suitable.
Anybody else have ants in their rock gardens?
Tips or suggestions?
