CAUTION ! Dr. Earth full of fungus gnats!

I just opened a bag of Dr. Earth Pot 'o Gold Potting Soil (orange bag) and fungus gnats came out in a swarm. Usually I open bags in the garage, but this year I put a tarp down in my dining room so I didn't have to freeze running back and forth. Sure enough, this bag/variety is contaminated. The little devils are flying past the monitor right now. Major bummer, so be careful and ALWAYS open bags away from your potting site and examine!!! Taped shut and waiting for muscles to come home from school and carry out for mom. Darn things go on forever!
