Hi all,
I sent this earlier this morning, but never got it back to myself, so I don't think it went through. 
I am looking for red Watsonia - for a friend. I don't care what species. Just need a couple. Let me know, or let me know who has some "now" (Not in September.) 
Thanks, Jude

I tried the sand method and it didn't work for me.  Also tried the cut potato 

method (lay a cut potato on the soil, the larva go to the potato), and that 

didn't work, either.

I read that pouring a layer of sand on



top of the soil in a pot would eliminate fungus gnats,



reportedly because the sand cut up gnats or their larva, 







Nice thought, and widely believed to be true.  But not so.



Instead, use  Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) as was suggested very 

early on in this thread.  Use the Bti (dissolved in your irrigation water) for 

at least 3 weeks to break the gnat's life cycle.
