Green manure- caliente mustard good for carrot root fly?

it certainly wouldn't hurt to try; and green manure is said to be almost as good as the real thing. I really want to know how long it takes to grow to the stage you can dig it in? And does anyone have any comments about the use to get rid of the carrot root by Whatalottie

how to not attract carrot fly when thinning

crop without fleece? I sow thinly in 6 inch wide rows, then don't have to thin the seedlings. I also grow them between rows of onions, the smell of which may confuse/deter carrot fly. No fleece is used. There is usually a small amount of carrot fly by artychris

At wits end with carrots and slugs

is that the 3 years previously I grew fab carrots with no issues. Mr hedgehog wasn't resident then. I do grow some in pots but it's not the same. Thank you. To be honest with you, I surround my carrots with net, just high enough so I can get my legs over by Auntiemand
