I live in an apartment and I need a herb garden-How?

Janet Pizaro on May 01, 2016If you are referring to fungus gnats or fruit flies you will have to spray the soil and leaves down with an insecticidal soap.Make sure your trays under neath are periodically washed out as the flies produce many eggs.Helpful Reply

Cori Widen on May 01, 2016We had the same problem in our apartment and a friend recommended adding more basil to the array of herbs on the window sill as a natural fly repellent, and it made the situation a lot better. We grew basil in a few places, between all of the other herbs.Helpful Reply
