Why cover it with Soil? I leave mine open but not in direct light. Plus when you do take the soil off, if you ever do, they will get so stressed out.
It is best to cover up the tube (nest) Queens like living in the dark. ;)
I just cover up my tubes wit a peace of paper.
Apperntly adding a Tiny amount of washing up liquid will reduce the surface tension of the water, so your ants wont be pulled in :)

I would be cautious using that however as sum detergants may contain chemicals which are toxic to ants...any idea what they use in the ant store one? £5 for 100ml is a bit excessive lol but then u do get a lil squeezy bottle wiv it
;) no I'm sorry i don't now what they use. But it seems a little like a product you use to clean you dishes. ;)

I am trying to simulate a natural environment as much as possible. I am even growing grass in my farm atm :)
Growing grass (which i am in my basin) is a good idea but it grows to fast so you will have to cut it down and so on...
But I Like all the ideas your giving me people :grin:

get tiny shamrocks then :) they look nice and are very small
Not a bad idea at all I think Il do that
thx Varban
Maybe I misunderstood you miszt but I wouldn't think putting washing up liquid/detergent in the ants water source would be a good idea... I think thats more to stop ants falling in a moat around the farm.
Try getting a bowl of water and shaking some pepper in it, then add a drop of washing up liquid, you'll see a good example of surface tension change ;)
If I misunderstood you miszt I apologies.
oh i c hmm i forgot about that aw man i really wanted to do it but what if i change it every day cuz i got this psecial water suck thing and then il refill the pool. So still a nono?
Please use proper grammar, people want to read what you say. Words of advice; please in future install a spell checker to your browser and buy a dictionary.
No offense but the forum will be a better place if we used proper English apart from of course the other language sections.
