Ants

Have been clearing the garden for growing stuff - its actually quite deep soil so we are going to go for a dug in bed rather than a raised one

we have an ants nest

can i leave it alone or will they destroy everything?  if i cant leave it alone...  are their organic ways to destroy them?

ants are good , kill and milk aphids greenflys , and wont let anything else settle in their area

They can also be a pain. Quite a few times i have dug up some sickly, under performing plant only to find a colony of red ants under it. I usually pour boiling water on them.

Feeb, as you can see there are differing views on ants 

Try a search of the forum and you'll find even more views!!! 

If you keep disturbing them they will move somewhere else.
