Bugs in Vegetable Containers

byonan
17 years ago

I have four tomato plants, two cucumbers, one japaneese egg plant, two dif. types of squash, and two dif bell peppers as well as two strawberries and some beans I started from seeds. In a small green house I have different herbs and lettuce. I live on the third floor of an apartment building, the patio is quite large about 15x25. I have tiny black flying bugs that fly around and walk around on the dirt. I think these are gnats? HELP!!! Are they going to hurt my container garden? Or do I just need to live with them? Also, I was moving my plants around and noticed a big black beatle...since I live in the city on the third floor I figured it had to have hatched from one of the plants....maybe not. I need help, if more beatles come is this bad? What can I do? I have tried locating the plant it may be coming from but I don't know.
