I'm needing the garden gurus! I just found ants in a raised beds. While its not many yet, I want them gone. We have fireants here and While they can be somewhat controlled, its absolutely impossible to eradicate them completely. This is my ashwagandha and next to the tulsi!

Hey everyone. I had to transplant my Armenian cucumbers into a bigger container. The dirt fell apart and disturbed the roots. Will they survive or should I just plant more seeds just in case they don’t survive? Update: It looks like only one is surviving. I guess that might be all I need since I’m hearing this get massive and I really don’t have a lot of space. Added new picture.

Sooo … something’s been eating my baby snap peas seedlings 🌱 and I think it’s a 🐀. I’m determined to not use traps or poison — and I think I found a simple solution. Whaddya think?? Bamboo skewers poked into the soil at odd angles (like those roof spikes for pigeons) surrounding the shoots. Fingers crossed this works. Skewers are easy. 👍🏼👍🏼🚫🐀 Have you had this or similar issues? How’d you handle it?

Sending sunshine and cheer to all the nature lovers and caretakers in our Living Soil Community!
