Carrots - my experiment
I have had the dreaded fly from year 1 of my venture into growing veg, year
2 was the same and it nearly put me off growing the things. Year 3(last year) I made a timber frame and covered it with pvc around, not the top as water will not get through. I had no fly and someone here suggested that it might be because the fly and its larvae died during winter. I tested this year. I sowed seeds in the frame and a few in open ground. The carrots in the frame are perfect whereas the ones in open ground are riddled with the thing. To me this is case proven though when I first heard of the barrier method I was very sceptical.(Isuppose some wiseass is going to make a joke about barrier method) It's a faff and expensive making the frame but a carrot fresh out of the ground is something to write home about, and the frame will last a few years?
