Nematodes, 100%. Went from clapping flies around me every 2 minutes to nothing, absolute godsend.

Order them online for around 20 dollars, follow the instructions and mix it in when you water them next. They eat the fly eggs or something, whatever it is it works within a couple of days and lasts a long time. I do this whenever the flies start coming back, maybe every month or two, and after a round of repotting because of the new soil.

I also cover the tops of pots with tape facing down which helps restrict access to the soil and some of the flies will stick to it, but I will try the sand layer instead of that now based on the suggestion above.

I hope this helps, I tried a lot of things before I found this and feel your pain!

Thanks for this! I haven’t played it since it came out. I’ll look forward to having a go.

I agree, it didn’t do itself any favours, you have to dig very deep but it could have been good. I think we were among many disappointed Star Trek kids!

Thanks, yeah I’m never doing one that long again haha! Just kept finding more interesting stuff about it, there’s even more on the TresCom site, very passionate fans.

Thanks so much! VR mod with elastic arms would be hilarious.

Thank you, much appreciated!

I moved in to a house with plastic grass, it’s only a tiny patch so to be honest I don’t mind, it wouldn’t be worth mowing. But I’d rather it was just a flowerbed or something. Why would you want a garden if you don’t like nature!
