We've been using lots of ant dust, since they have large colonies under most of our trees. I wonder if the rubber mulch rings are aggravating the ant problem. Is that possible?
When I stuck our watering spike in to water the new apple tree (planted a year ago), I didn't have to push it in -- it fell in. I suspect the ants have tunneled out large spaces under there.
What should I do to fill them in? Throw compost on top and run the sprinkler? I'm still a newbie at fruit trees.
