As mentioned before, I have one side that is actively composting and the other side that is sifted and ready to use. We went to plant some plants this weekend and uncovered the plastic to get some of the good stuff and after we scooped out several scoops realized that there were like thousands of ants in it.

I hate to put chemicals in it, but I can't think of anything else to do but to use fire ant killer sprinkled in there.

Any suggestions?
