Post by: Biscombe on March 08, 2008, 09:31:24

Anyone out there get fungus Gnats in the greenhouse? Any organic remedies would be welcome. Neem does not work :(
Sundew plants (like a venus fly trap) would work, where to get one I don't know!!
Any other tips

I get fungus gnats but they do not cause too much problems, let the surface of the compost to dry out before watering assists.
The easiest sundew would be Drosers capensis, any of the butterworts would help. You could try one of our natives Pinguicula grandiflora or any of the lare leaved mexican pings.
If you need assistance with any of the latter contact me.
