Help! I opened up my compost bin which should have been all lovely and ready to use and it has an ants` nest in it. The ants are all running around inside and there are loads of white eggs.
Is there anything I can do? I don`t want to waste the compost. It looks lovely stuff.

Dear Elderflower, when i have had this problem in the past, i just spread the compost out and as if by magic they disappear.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Oh!
Thanks OH, I`ll get a tarpaulin or something and do that. I`ll put laggy bands round my trouser legs first though - I wouldn`t like them to disappear by magic there!
