So I’m going to have 3 plants this round. The first is sprouted and on it’s way, the 2nd finished germination tonight and I’m still waiting for the 3 seeds to arrive. My question, I always get my soil from the same place. This time I had to go to someplace else, I just now went to open the bag and it’s FULL of ants. Can I use this?? I grow indoors and I’d rather not bring this into the house. I borrowed enough soil from my first seedlings 5gal pot just to get my germed seed into at least a solo cup for tonight. Can I rinse this soil or something? I’d hate throwing this entire bag out!!
@Offerson I’d imagine you can pour it out outside on some cardboard etc and spread it out really thin and sprinkle some diatomaceous earth on it and they should leave the soil real quick

Alright, thanks ill try that. Never had this problem before. It’s not just some ants either, i stuck a scoop in there to fill up a pot and half my arm was covered. The place i usually get soil from stores it inside, i had to go to Rural King this time and they store it outside on the side of the building.
I would return the bag of soil, explain what happened, and ask for a refund or a new bag.
If you can go with your arm full of ants maybe you can get more things for free lol
