ok thanks, im trying to find it, what im trying for now is, cuz i just moved the soil in my smaller pots and some flew out the soil and these things are only alive for 5 days, so my plant now is to cover my pots with newspaper, i dont mean like put it on top of the compost, but slid it over the pot with a slit in it so it slides over the stem and covers the top of the pot, so their is still a gap between the compost and the news paper, but im thinking if i cover all my plants like this as they was only watered today and tie it up so nothing can get in or out, and this might work, im hoping it does, the paper should breath enough for my plants to be ok, well im hoping anyway, if anyone thinks its a bad idea then give me a shout back and ill rip it all off cuz i all ready started, i got 3 hours before the lights go out and im out all day tomorrow, so if i can prevent the flys getting in to lay eggs and the ones in their wont be able to get out so im hoping this will get rid of them short term, possibly long term if i keep the pots covered, so the plants will be above the paper with the stem coming through a slit and taped up so nothing can get in the im pulling the paper tight over the pot all the way round so their is no gaps and im tying it to the pots tight so nothing can get in or out, im hoping this will work short term, if anyone thinks this is going to affect my plants then give me a shout back and ill rip it all off
