[RC] fly predators - Sheila_Larsen

I have used the fly predators in the past and they do work well.  I used
the company Arbico. They also have a soil nematode that works well going
after maggots  if the soil remains moist.  The following is a little gross
but  I compost my horse manure and cover it with a tarp and usually don't
have maggots in it.  I don't know what happened but one day I lifted the
tarp and the pile was so fully of maggots that it looked alive.
Interesting from a biological point of view but a little creepy.  I had
some of the soil nematodes and put them on the pile.  A couple of days
later I lifted the pile and nothing was there, took a shovel to see if the
maggots were deeper - nothing there.  I can guarantee if those maggots had
hatched during that time I would have known it.  Just another suggestion.
