Answers:
Sounds like fruit flies to me. Look for black stripes on their bodies. Probably one of the best ways to cut down on their population is with a trap.
Make a funnel out of notebook paper or very thin cardboard and put it in a jar with a little cidar-vinegar in it.
Put 2 or three of those around your garden and you should notice a huge difference. You may want to empty them once in a while if they get a lot in them, they'll start to stink.
