I finally got around to emptying the second potato box. I couldn't get to it for a while because it was surrounded by marauding tomato vines that were so laden with tomatoes they had earned their space, even if it was officially potato space and succulent space. As with the first box, only the lowest layer had any potatoes. So much for high rise potato harvesting.
When I started to dig for potatoes and disturbed the soil, hundreds of white ants (termites?) emerged. Almost immediately a gang of smaller black ants appeared and began to attack them and carry them off. Is this a new no poison way to protect our houses from termites?
