Cabbage Root Fly

Hi There,

Just had to pull up and destroy 40 odd cabbage and cauliflower plants infected with the dreaded Cabbage Root Fly - does anybody know of an organic solution to prevent further attacks? I'm not keen on pesticides but will use them if all else fails.

Thanks,

Skrumpy

6" squares of carpet underlay, roofing felt (or I used cardboard) around the stem when transplanting.
A good rotation - no brassicas including cruciferous weeds for three years - will get rid of it, in my experience at least (using the above in the meantime, I did so for 2 years and have been free for 2,afaik - healthy adults apparently withstand attack).
