| They are white tiny little bugs (aphids???), and the smallest little ants(maybe they are eating the white bugs???)
How do I get rid of the bugs, with out getting rid of the good critters, like earthworms?

| Ants protect the aphids, so they can harvest the sweet honeydew (AKA poo) the aphids produce. A strong blast of water will take care of most infestations. There are numerous other relatively safe things like insecticidal soap for more severe problems. |
