    Mother Earth compost.

    Was wondering if any one else use Mother Earth Compost. Have a lot of bother with very small black flies which appear to be coming from the compost [peat] Have potted up some plants for the house and we have these flies there to.
    Thanks.

    I don't use that compost but I think the flies could lay eggs in any compost,I had a fungus gnat problem on a few of my indoor plants & put a little container of vinegar next to the plant pot & they were attracted to that & daily squashing. Got rid of the problem there. But I also had some on my rocket plant in the front window,I've just put it outside. It could be fungus gnats they like a very damp environment,letting the compost dry out a bit would help if it is gnats?

      They can also be persuaded to drown themselves in almond oil.

          You can get sticky fly traps that look like plant labels if you want it to look discreet. Made by rent-o-kil
