Bromophos is no longer available, so I am told, what do others do to
control it?
Build a box around the bed at least 18inches high with no gaps. Won't
ensure
no damage but will limit it. You could also cover the box with Enviromesh
so
it's sealed to the little blighters.
The row is 15 metres long Bob and we have 3 rows in different
places!!! Excellent advice but I think our veggie garden is too big
to box off the carrot bit.
Whilst we grow everything on our allotments in traditional rows (easier to
hoe that way) the carrots we broadcast seed into our movable "carrot box",
so perhaps you need to make one before next planting season. :-)
