I used worm castings last two seasons but was having trouble with fruit flies that were coming from the castings my worms made. Yikes it was a real mess in 2007 not as bad last summer but still they managed to multiple a couple of times.

Cleaning worked for a short time. It seamed to be relieved if I made sure the castings stayed submerged completely. Thoughts?

If the problem is the brewer, IT MUST BE CLEANED. Everytime.
