Grow them under a fleece cover and keep it on until you harvest.


The problem with that is that I usually harvest just a few each day -
and I suppose the flies would get in during that time, wouldn't they?
(Also - what about weeding?)


Lift the fleece, weed or harvest and replace it asap. I can't see
you'd get many in in that time! It works for me.
