I am an apartment dweller with a balcony on which I've got about half a dozen vegetables and herbs growing. Recently I came into a big fruit fly/gnat/whitefly problem, but I dont' want to use pesticides/insecticides (ideally I'd like to eat this stuff after all). I live in south Florida, temps are never lower than 80 outside - though this container would be in the shade most of the day.
Is the idea of a container pond of some kind, with say a few gouramis, a paradise fish (male/female pair) or some other insectivore doable here? What kind of container could I use, preferably not too large (wife has veto power here)? I'd like to see examples/pics of other people's setups, especially if you live in a hot/Southern state. Thanks!
