I work full time so I keep my gardening as simple as possible. So simple
my plants have to be able to cope with almost total neglect! Anything
requiring more than the occassional water during drought just doesn't
get done. the rest? well maybe when I retire...

Thanks anyway!

I don't use the dust, don't grow tomatoes coz my place is filthy with
fruit fly, but what about not dusting when the plants are actually in
flower? Don't know if that's practical, just a suggestion.

Apparently, that was what the directions said:- "do not use when bees are
foraging"


For your problem, have you lookd at DakPots, or wha ever they are called
now. Basically canite impregnated with poison and attactant forthe
males(?). They comethinking they have struck it lucky and end up
poisoned, die and are not availabel for the real females.

There are also trap attractants you can get. Take a plastic soft drink
bottle, cut of top, invert to make a funnel in top of rest of bottle and
load with bait/pongy stuff.

You also need to do basic stuff like collect all fallen fruit ASAP.
