today I finally found the motivation to pull out a sickly broccoli that was covered in whitefly and mealybugs. I decided to cut the main trunk and found an ant colony in the hollowed trunk! :shock: :shock:
I had no idea they were there as there were only a few ants wandering on the outside.


the white bits are ant eggs

goes to show how clever these little buggers are, flooding the growbed would have achieved nothing

Sneaky little buggers.

I didn't know they did that. Learn something new every day.
