Since we chop all the over hanging tress down and planting new plants I have seen nothing but flies all over the place. Anyway of getting rid of them?
Hi Gary, may I suggest, to be a bit more helpful, planting some Lavender, some small pots of Basil around and perhaps anything citrus scented? Flies don't like these scents. Hope this helps.
Mix 2tbsp of white,granulated sugar with 1tbsp of water and place on a spoon for a Bee to reach. Sometimes they're too exhausted to reach back to the hives when it's hot and dry.
I don’t quite understand what your asking, you’ve showed some nice plants then asked about getting rid of flies, what flies?
Ha Lyn you are funny 😂 can't you see them on the leaves?

ah flies, nother part of nature. The clouds in the sky are annoying me, any way of getting rid of them?
Fraid that bee hotel won't do much to attract bees. More flowering plants would.
As to there being an abundance of flies after felling their home is quite normal. By next year they should have dispersed. They are attracted to rotting tree leaves and manure.
If you can eliminate anything rotting/smelly in your garden the flies will dissapear (unlike the clouds in the sky)
Any chance of ditching the pots and planting straight into the ground there? I'm not sure what's under the gravel but if it is presumably soil, you could scrape away the gravel and work the soil over with some nice compost etc. Your plants would be much happier and in time you will find a balance between nature's little creatures.
