Water and stir the pile frequently and that should keep the ant problem down. They’ll move on. They help break down the stuff in your compost, so they aren’t all bad. But you definitely don’t want an infestation.

Wow this only took a couple days... much faster than I thought. I doused it heavily and flooded them out to my shed ramp, where I nuked them with Bengal spray.

In other news, it turns out I have room for an additional 4x12 bed in front of the lower one below. Any suggestions on what to do with it? Half may be taken up by just spacing out what I have laid out a little more, but I may have a 4x6 area available. Strawberries?
