    Raised Bed soil from Ocean State Job Lot. The big green bag.

    Just if anyone else is familiar, I’ve never had issue before, but, I’ve an infestation this year of those small little winged gnat fuckers. The humidity has not helped the problem.

    One of my potted peppers unfortunately has suffered. I’m currently waiting for all my plants to dry out a bit before trying to water with a peroxide mixture. If anyone has other advice for gnats in soil.

      For the fungus gnats in the soil apply BTi. This is the bacteria found in mosquito dunks used in ponds etc. it kills the larvae
