My vegetable plot is totally enclosed by walls/fences 6' high. I've just

precautions were taken against Fly. I'm encouraged!

Is this just luck or have the walls/fences done the job of keeping out
the low flying pest?

Thanks!

I have three foot fences, and I planted onions next to my carrots. No root
fly here either! I can't claim it's scientific, but it's worked for me.
