I’ve taken a belt and braces approach to the brassica bed this year. They’ve been planted in a raised bed to reduce (I hope) the number of slugs and snails. Also, the plants have been grown in and planted with GroChar to speed root development and generally supercharge them, mulched with Strulch and protected by SlugGone sheep’s wool pellets. Finally I’ve covered the bed with a GardenSkill pop-up crop protector which will keep cabbage whites and pigeons at bay. Never have my greens been so cosseted, but I’m hoping the reward will be a clean and plentiful crop.
Love the pop up plant protection…bugs were so bad this Summer I threatened to tent my whole garden!
You’ll have to do an update on how the SlugGone sheep pellets work, I was looking at them for the veritable army of slugs I have here
Will keep you posted Doug.
