Plant marigolds (tagetes?) in between the rows to act as a natural
deterrent. Google "companion planting" for more info.
Another method is to sow carrots in a plot previously occupied by
onions/garlic whereby the residual roots will give off a scent to deter
carrot fly.
Thanks Sandy I have a few trays of tagetes that were meant for
elsewhere but I am happy to try your suggestion.
