Usually diatomaceous earth is good for harmful soil bugs. I would guess the flies on your tomatoes were aphids. Spraying them off regularly with a hose and the soap and water is the only organic solutions I have heard of.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405593352652538890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549939437126288282.post-75548815711606422732011-06-19T20:49:14.234-07:002011-06-19T20:49:14.234-07:00Do you have any mites in the soil?
