Default fruit fly


"cookie" wrote in message

I love my own fruit&vegie products from my garden, but I had to put
more than half of my juicy nectarines into the garbage bag last year.
Can anybody give me an organic method of dealing with fruit fly please?


I have contacts in an organic grower's society who say that traps work
provided that you start them early and monitor them and you and your
neighbours maintain proper cleanliness, ie don't leave rotten fruit about. I
haven't tried it.

This year I am trying bagging. The concept is that bags keep out flies and
birds and bats. I will let your know in a few months if they work.
