Welcome Paul!
I can't think of anyone from Victoria actively participating on the list
at the moment. We have had Victorian members in the past.
There are a couple of people here from NSW (myself included), one in
Tassie, several in WA...
I'd recommend trying to get the ants out of your pots if you can. You
can try wiping out the colony by putting out a 50:50 mixture of sugar
and borax for them to gather and take back to the colony, but in the
long term I'd recommend preventing them by putting your pots in a tray
of water, raised above the water level on pot feet. Stops the ants and
helps the local humidity all in one go....not that you need any more
humidity in Melbourne this year!
What sort of chillies are you growing?
