Fungus Gnats
This year I have overwintered 12 pepper plants. Well inadvertently I brought in some fungus gnats. Anyone have any experience in dealing with these successfully? Been using neem oil, castile soap and water and spraying frequently, but feel like I'm facing a winless battle. Also put about 1/4 inch of sand on the top of each container. Also been using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water. To add more drama to all this I have 3 hydroponic towers down the basement and having problems there too. Hoping someone has been able to get through something like this.

Greenhouses
Does anyone have any suggestions on raising plants in a greenhouse. This is my first time and I would really like to be kinda be successful. Thanks for any help.

We grow brassicas in small greenhouses. That's probably quite different though. We're setting up a greenhouse this coming year. I've watched a lot of videos on youtube of people growing in a greenhouse or high tunnel. Doesn't seem much different then growing outside in the elements. I'm also going to set up drip irrigation to water.
Racoon Party
Well, the racoons climbed the fence and had a heck of a good party in our garden last night. I am hoping someone has some ideas on how I can stop this nonsense. I am setting a trap tonight to relocate the intruders elsewhere. What I really need is a way to keep them out. The set up is two 10' x 10' dog kennels hooked together, making the outside frame 20' x 20'. It's about 6 foot tall with a grid for the fencing. The top is wide open. I am open to any and all ideas!

@Donna Scarborough Probably chicken wire would work. My friend had squirrels and rabbits eating anything that he would grow. The only thing they wouldn't touch was cherry tomatoes (for some strange reason). He finally started growing in a greenhouse.
