I am currently dealing with a minor gnat infestation. I’ve heard to put perlite or washed play sand over the soil so the gnats can no longer breed which will kill them all. My kids have a bunch of marbles, I’m talking buckets, that have been past down through the family. I was wondering if I could just top dressed soil with the marbles in order to solve my problem. Any ideas?image.jpg

Might be pretty, but I don't believe it would block gnats. I top with fine perlite. No issues.

What about using the marbles then filling in the gaps with sand
