From what I read you put 1/4 inch slices on top of the soil and the gnats prefer to place the larvae in the potatoes instead of the soil. Then trash the slices every 1-3 days till the gnats are gone. I'm about to start this tactic as soon as I get to the market for some papas, I've noticed I have a gnat prob as well, so if anyone would care to add please advise.

I had might still have gnats. I searched everywhere and had loads of suggestions, these are what i used.
The cheapest control i found was ground cinnamon. Cheap easy to buy and smells nice as well.
More expensive was gnat off. Expensive and you have to wash through soil making the soil really wet which i don't like on young plants.
A great solution is Diatomaceous Earth Insect Killer http://www.cleanairgardening.com/diatomaceous.html. This is good for all crawling insects. I now use a bit in every container just incase.
Good luck with it.
