#1 So, lately, I've seen many (MANY) little ants roaming around my young AGs...some even climbing up on the first few true leaves. Could these pose a problem to the plants' health? I've given both plants a treatment of Sevin insecticide, but the ants seem unfazed.

#2 Where do you guys get your drip tape? I can't seem to find any even decent prices for >50ft. I've tried all the local hardware stores but can't seem to find what I see in all the grower diaries (very long lengths).

#3 Where do you get the materials for your windbreaks/wind fences and how much do they typically cost?

#4 Can you mix and apply Daconil fungicide and Sevin insecticide in the same batch for my 2gal sprayer?

Thanks so much for any replies to one or more questions! Have a great growing season!

AntZ are bad.... get them before they get you....I like using granular right where they live

#2, I get mine at Home depot
#3, Home depot
#4, mix them together in a jar, if they do not set up you can, if they do set up (solidify) you can spray them together.

Swap your sevin for bifenthrin/ tal star and consider adding eagle 20 to your fungicide rotation. You'll be glad you did.

Awesome replies! Seriously helpful and quick to boot. Orangeneck, will look into bifenthrin and eagle. Best of luck this season everyone.
