Do these actually work?

Maybe someone has got a successful crop where other varieties failed? Or
maybe a horror story of a resistant variety riddled?

I sowed flyaway in 2002, and the pests did everything except fly away with
them, though for all the use I had from them they might as well have. In
2003 I sowed under enviromesh, that certainly kept the crop disease free,
but it is a pain in the a**.
I watched the Gardeners World BBC prog. about allotments where the chap
kept them away by "earthing" up his carrots, but I really could not
understand the process.
