Blackfly
Urglers,
I'm all for experimentation and as I was checking over my runner beans I noticed many small flies buzzing around my small veg area. The yellow sticky sheet in my greenhouse (Bio Greenhouse Flycatcher) had countless flies on it so I decided to try one outside. I bent up some stiff wire and fixed a new sheet to it, pushed the end of the wire into a bamboo and put it downwind of the runners before peeling off the sheet's covering. Within a short space of time four blackfly had been caught. I do not know the sex of flies but at least thre's a chance that I'll not be plagued quite so much. Hope it doesn't rain tonight! Go on, try it for yourselves. Regards Ron |
