I don’t understand ants. Their secretion killed a basil and tomato plant in my greenhouse in May. I had under-watered and the soil was dry.
After giving the area a good soak, I planted another tomato, and it’s cropping well, with no sign of stress. So the ants are on the back foot for now, but I am not counting my chickes. They always reappear in the same places..
