[Arid_gardener] ants

[Jean Hodgson]

I dug a trench just outside my vegetable garden fence where I had planned to plant marigolds, but ants now use the as a runway with their hole in the ground at the beginning of the trench.  Ants now traverse my garden and return to their home carrying things.  At the same time I've noticed for the first time, holes in my leafy greens.  I think the ants are black ants.  What should I do?
