Carrot fly

Our garden is completely surrounded by walls 4 feet high.
But each year my carrots get eaten by what I reckon is carrot fly.
I thought those never flew higher than 18 inches above the ground.
Similarly with my Pak Choi roots and stems which seems to be the same pest.

Any solution.

Also what are the small hole in my radish.
Is that slugs attacking them??
It's your money. Except if it's the governments.

    Cover with a fine mesh to help prevent it.

    Lots of people say they fly around 18" - 2ft but lots of others say thats
    rubbish.

    No idea on the small holes.
