I too had a real problem with carrot fly. A neighbour on the allotment used a deep box with fleece, I tried it and it worked. I then went on to buying a 10mtr x 30mtr insect proof net and have had no problem since with the carrot fly. Also the net does not have to be replaced every season as fleece does, so nruns out cheaper in the long run.
Can you tell me how you know you have carrot fly. I ve just spoted sort of rust spots on my soil around the carrots which I planted in little recycled pots on a high shelf in my green house. I now want to transplant them and have found 5 with a rust looking marks on the soil and sides of pots. Anyone help please ????
I now have little mushrooms aound this pot guess its a sort of fungus. . Ive now put in the green house in large tub the pots will disintergrate they dont have yellow foliage so fingers crossed Ive also covered with fleece thank you Verdun
