It could be the name of a song...couldnt it? "We got flies in the topsoil, oh yeah...flies in the topsoil, oh yeah..."
Or a new band name...And todays number one song is "Feasting Faeces" by Flies in the Topsoil (sorry...i have no flies in mine. just had a silly moment there...) |

I think these are fungus gnats and they like damp soil and rotting vegetation, problem is that although the adult flies don't live very long they lay loads of eggs,so you will need to remove the top layer of soil to get rid of any larvae.
