HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

[crystal**flake]

I am growing strawberries in a pot and I had 2 that were so close to picking, perhaps tomorrow even.

Well ants ate my strawberry!!!!

Does anyone know how I can stop them please.

Place the pot in a tray of water

Ants won't cross water.   Make a moat with 2 terra cotta pots.  One upside down to stand

your strawberry pot on - and a larger one that you fill with water.  Strawberry Island

[lind9650]

Get some chalk and draw around the pot. Ants will not cross over chalk. You'l have to repeat the chalk lines after rain wased them away.

Or set your pot on stones in a larger saucer type dish and fill the dish with water. Again, ants will not cross water.

Good luck with the next crop of juicy strawberries.
