After thoughourly watering the soil around my container-grown Malagueta
chile, I noticed many small white insects (similar in shape to ants)
speedly crawling over the surface of the wood-bark mulch (Cypress). At
first I thought they were termites. But after a good close examination of
all parts of the plant, I saw may very small black ants on the stems but
no insects anywhere else.
Does anyome know if I've got a problem?
PS I'm growing the chile in a large (43.2 cm. high x 49.5 cm. wide)
half-barrel originally meant for planting miniture fruit-trees in.
