I have a large container garden. Some of the containers seem to do poorly no matter what I plant in them. I'm constantly battling ants who make nests in all my pots. I have one oak barrel that doesn't seem to do well no matter what I plant in it. I have problems with my containers in south and west exposures. I think the containers heat up. Any suggestions. I've tried borax ant bait and it seems to keep them from invading the house but the potted plants just keep getting it. I should try tangle foot but it gets so gross looking around my pretty ceramic pots and I don't know if it would work on an oak barrel with cracks in it. I'm really getting frustrated. I have the pots on gravel. The gophers here are so bad i use pots so I don;t have to buy a gopher basket for every single plant. we're gonna get a sink hole soon due to our over abundance of subterranean creatures!!!
