So this morning, despite only getting 5 hrs of sleep, (Yes, despite. I generally get more sleep than this, which is why I cannot get anything accomplished during the day.) I was wide awake getting Aaron off to work, so in my pajamas, put on my tall 'garden boots' and fed the dogs.
I really wanted to go to my garden.
I really wanted to check my beer traps.
This is a lid that I filled with beer and put next to squash plant, to hopefully drown a few stink bugs. The lid is too shallow, so I need some bigger ones. I did use a big plastic lid off of a mayo jar and that seemed to have caught lots more ants. There is a massive ant hill in the middle of this raised bed- it's the one furthest left in the bottom picture, behind the washing machine tub. I haven't figured out how I feel about drowning the ants. I don't think they're either beneficial nor detrimental to my squash. What do you think?
