Unfortunately, I have a deck garden, but it is fortunately producing this year. I like to keep it organic, but those pesky little ants and I've noticed some new beetle friends too. Any ideas? Please help...I'd hate to lose my crop.

You should look at Rotenone. Not sure if it is viable on ants but it is an organic insecticide.

You can also look at bone meal. My neighbor heats it up then puts it on the ant hills. Not sure if you want anything hot on your plants, but this is another option.

Good luck.
