[delsupserve]

Turned my compst bin out and there was hundreds of ants. Could i leave them or are they lickley to cause me problems later on?

If you're getting ants your compost is too dry. Chuck a can of water in every other layer

and mix it up regularly if you can, they don't like being moved about either.

And watch out they don't get on your skin as they sting like billy oh. Specially the red ones!
