Back to... What is Compost?
Ants |
|
AntsIn the compost pile, ants feed on fungi, seeds, sweets, and other insects. The compost pile also provides shelter for nests. They will remain, however, only while the pile is relatively cool.Ants may benefit the compost heap by moving minerals (especially phosphorus and potassium) around and by bringing fungi and other organisms into their nests. Lots of ants in the compost pile may sometimes indicate that the pile is too dry.
