I have just been weeding and strimming (well, OH does that bit) the orchard and vegetable garden, and noticed that already ants are building nests in the earth. Other than the pain of treading on one accidentally and getting badly bitten, are there advantages/disadvantages to having ant colonies in one's garden?
