Title: Is this how to beat carrot fly!
Post by: Elcie on April 16, 2009, 09:33

I was lucky to get a small greenhouse frame from freecycle yesterday which is handy as it is somewhere to keep the brassica seedlings during the day.  I also thought that perhaps I could beat the carrot fly by putting my pot of winter sown carrots on the top shelf!

What do you think:

It would take "Super Carrot Fly" to get that high!

Hi, it's not when they are in that state you need to worry, it's when they are in the ground they're vulnerable.
