[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Dee]

   Compost works best in my book. I put it everywhere-as a side dressing, 
top dressing and dug in to the soil prior to planting. If it is throughly 
decomposed, it should not attract ants.
  Good luck & don't give up on organics.

I am about ready to give up on organic fertilizer due to the bug problem, 
but I'd prefer to not hurt the environment with my gardening practices. Any 
suggestions?
