The message
from Bobbie contains these words:

LOL, fer sure.....and every other thing in sight. I would love to see
folks use less chemical methods, but I do realise that with Balsam and
Japanese Knot weed creeping up on us like invading Triffids, soft soap
isn't always the answer. Grand daughters are good. We pay ours to
hand pick caterpillars, and netting will often deter carrot fly.

Best way to deter carrot fly is to grow your carrots in raised beds. If
that's impractical, in something like a window box or deep growbag
placed at an altitude of around three feet or more.

It's
hard work I know, but I have dogs and goats and chickens and poisons
are out.

Well, if they are your dogs and goats and chickens...

However we are almost self sufficient in vegetables now and
the flower beds have been a real treat this year.
btw did you have many Crane fly this year?

Not that many, no. Last year was worse.
