Ants eating my rhubarb

Help!  I have ants eating my rhubarb.  I don't have aphids, so I think they are just eating the rhubarb.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of them?

    um. yeah. and the soil. and the groundwater. and jack up the whole ecosystem because there are things that eat ants...

     

    ants hate lemon juice. pour a healthy dose over what you don't want them on and you should be good. i dosed the trunk of our orange tree last year and haven't had a problem since. a cup or two should do you.

    but what if you are organic gardening?  our community farm (info in my blog) is organic ONLY and I am also concerned about the ants.
