Gardenbabs, yep companion planting does work. Onions next to carrots, parsley next to spring onions and well away from carrots, tagates in the greenhouse for whitefly. Marigolds in veg garden are supposed to inhibit some nasties in the soil too. Fleece is only sure fire solution to carrot fly but I agree that autumn carrots can be susceptible. When you pick your carrots do you replace fleece ASAP? From May till end August I have clean carrots every year
