Artjak - what do you mean about height? The whole thing is enclosed with polythene frames at the sides and insect netting at the top, so the flies can't get in, but water can. It is about the height of carrot tops, so should be okay.
Ah now I'm glad you have brought that up Scroggin, because I was wanting to know whether carrot flies are casual opportunists or determined beggars, because there are some gaps between the wooden battens - probably only a 1mm or 2mm gap, but if you think the carrot flies would sneak in, we have an endless supply of duct tape from Lidl, and I could tape up the gaps. The netting is stapled with a gun to the frame and put 'join down' at the top, and the polythene on the side panels is likewise stapled to the frames.
Thanks Scroggin. yes I do try to thin in the evenings. I will presume that carrot flies are the James Bonds, the veritable 'Milk Tray men' of the insect world then!! Duct tape it is
