You can also try planting marigolds, as both black & greenfly are detered by the scent. Ladybird & hoverfly are the best at eating green (and black) fly. Plant things that will attract these and you'll have far less problems. (poached egg plant is excellent for this & will self seed each year)It's a lot safer and a lot more green than using chemical, which can kill the "good" insects as well as the bad. Encouraging natural predators is the best long term solution.
