Title: carrot fly
Post by: viettaclark on July 11, 2010, 08:50

It's too late for me! I think the dreaded beastie has found ALL my carrots planted in different areas in 18" raised beds. Have to share them this year.... :(
Not high enough! Polythene barrier next year!
Wondered if anyone can give me a link to a FLY picture, please? I've googled but only get pics of the maggots.....

Look no further than our very own forum:

I've found polythene barriers good, but enviromesh better.
