 I love my own fruit&vegie products from my garden, but I had to put
more than half of my juicy nectarines (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch var. nucipersica (Suckow) C. Schneider) into the garbage bag last year.
Can anybody give me an organic method of dealing with fruit fly please?

No. Allthough fruit fly traps are around, I have never see them work in
any effective way.

I have contacts in an organic grower's society who say that traps work
provided that you start them early and monitor them and you and your
neighbours maintain proper cleanliness, ie don't leave rotten fruit about. I
haven't tried it.

This year I am trying bagging. The concept is that bags keep out flies and
birds and bats. I will let your know in a few months if they work.

Lebaycid is the best. It is an organic chemical.

Almost all pesticides are organic chemicals (ie chemical compounds based on
the chemistry of carbon) but few are acceptable to organic growers or may be
used in organic methods. These two meanings of "organic" have been known and
understood to be different for some time.
