      Hasn’t worked for me even granules from hardware store! The only thing is deter an insecticide knocks or fly spray but need to find the nest.

    It may be a mess but looks how healthy those roots have grown πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚

  • @Simmo_AU says:

    Made this mistake with Mint about 10 years ago, then made the same mistake with Hops! Never again for either of them.

    • @mr.hamilton5393 says:

      The Romans used to make walkways of mint so when you walked on them you would get that fragrance come up I can see it working if you boarded both sides of it real deep

  • @rw-xf4cb says:

    Have you had any beans of the vanilla bean plant?

  • @ronyerke9250 says:

    Not that it matters much, but a tarp or a refuse bag over your grow bed will keep the leaf litter from the shade cloth from making a mess of it. Maybe it will come to mind the next time.

    “A few ants in the grow bed”. Is that Australian for a minor inconvenience?
