flys flys everywhere!!!! help!

Posted 279 days ago

ok, I did the good thing by preparing vege patch with blood and bone sugar cane mulch and organic top soil, the only thing is now the garden seems to be swarming with flies! I've planted vegies, will flies do any harm? how can I get rid of them? and is there suitable fertiliser that does not attract them?

I've never know blood and bone to attract flies before. They will not do any harm to your plantings. If you think one of your soil supplements is causing them to come in numbers then turn everything in so it's under the soil. Flies can't dig.
