Fall Gardening - Planting Kale & Brassica Transplants & Using Insect Barrier for Chewing Insects
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2021
- My basic method for planting fall brassica transplants. I also show you how I used repurposed fruit tree covers to create and insect barrier for my newly planted kale, broccoli and related plants. This is a way to reduce your need for any kind of spray or insect dust. It is very effective.

Covers, covers, covers! I grow everything now under agribon covers. This spring's broccoli crop was outstanding
No bug damage on 40 plants.
Perfect!

I bought tulle and used it on my broccoli & cabbage with great success this year.
Ive used that it works

Glad you branched out into fruit trees so you could find out about those covers for us! :) They look perfect for protecting containers with crops from grazing deer.
I am so glad you got over the aesthetics. :) I've used Tulle fabric for squash and it worked perfectly; kept out the vine borer. Sometimes, sequestering is the smartest and easiest way to roll.
Yeah a bit LOL. Going to keep them in one space.

For larger coverage, look for tulle fabric by the yard. You can find it online for less than 50 cents USD a yard which can be used over low tunnels. You will need some scrap lumber or pipes to weigh down the edges so the cabbage moths or borers can’t get in.
Tulle is good. I did use it years ago but found it only lasted a summer due to UV sun damage. Did you find a solution.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I wonder if there is a liquid UV protector you could dip fabric in. I have read old newspapers from the 1870/80s that say to used oiled muslin to make cold frames to extend your season.
I did tulle fabric this last year to keep birds off my strawberries and cherry toms and was thinking of it for this too, but I noticed bees stuck on the tulle. their legs get stuck on it. Saw a few dead ones and was able to get a live one off. did you notice any bees sticking to yours? I really don't want to continue using it, if bees are going to die on it, as I am trying to get as many bees as I can in my garden.
I started using netting in June to keep being birds off of my cabbages. Once I saw how awesome it was, I ordered more. I have also used the plastic row covers to help my peppers and eggplants stay warm. It's been unusually cold. Mid 80's. I am picking up 8 more plastic row covers on Friday. It has helped me have a better season than many other gardeners on my allotment garden.
The row covers are great season extenders

What’s the best fall crop to grow in zone 6? Our first deep frost, usually happens around November (sometimes a little sooner).
Absolutely love this idea!!! Thanks for the great tip! I might actually try to grow brassicas again! Greetings from Michigan! 😊
This will work well on the hoop houses I made to extend the growing season
Brilliant idea 💡 thanks Gary

With damage free Brussels sprouts leaves, I hope you harvest them for greens. They are so delicious sautéed! Even blanched/frozen and used over the winter.
I do!

Nice design and repurpose.

Dang.I thought I could wait to put out my brassicas till the moths were gone. But they stay around, huh? I tried net for the first time this year and it didn't work well. I see with this video that I should've used some Captain Jack (never used it) and then put the net over. Second year I've tried cabbage, broc, caul and lost it all due to those moths. A little better with kale. I'm so hoping I can get a fall harvest of those veggies. I have the transplants ready! I'll definitely follow this approach. Thank you.
They do hang well into September.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you.
The key is to get them covered BEFORE the buggars have access! The white butterflies go crazy around the mesh all day. 😄 Somehow one got into the cabbage bed, or maybe it had already laid eggs I missed before putting the mesh over the bed. ( I had changed covers from a light spring cover to mesh, early summer.) Found several caterpillars, a bunch of cocoons, and disposed of all of that, then gave up and sprayed with spinosad so any chewers left behind will die. A week later, I found a cabbage luper trying to get out! So, I missed a cocoon... but it didn't have a mate. Whew!
I love the mesh because I can still water and fertilize right through it. Will make sure I KEEP them covered from seedling next time.
Good advice. And right watering is not an issue

Awesome video. The cabbage looper is my biggest pest. Everything was going great until it showed up. Really looking forward to actually enjoying my broccoli leaves this year. Worked great for keeping the squirrels and birds away from my strawberries and am going to pretty much cover the whole garden!
LOL... I am getting used to the look

Thanks Gary. I'm thinking of using them for my corn next year which the squirrels have decimated this year. If they are tall enough I'd probably have to use 2 on my 4 x 6 raised bed. It's definitely worth a try. I have nothing to loose at this point if I want to continue growing corn. thanks again.
Yeah I have to find a corn solution too. I am not sure what I will build

Oh my! Please show us how you used the covers on your fruit trees. The birds ate most of my figs this year before they even ripened! I will being trimming my trees to keep them small during the winter! I have mulberry trees growing that I want to protect also for next year in May. thank you for the wonderful information you give us! I have tried bird netting but no matter how I secure it i have to rescue birds. And it was such a pain to use.
I tried brussel sprouts one year as my experimental crop and they were beautiful but in the end I had to take them out because of the cabbage moths. I tried spraying and squishing and spent a lot of time on them… it was quite frustrating and I never tried again. I may give it a go next year with the cloth….and I think I may grow transplants to put in the garden for early fall instead of spring. 🤔I’ve been using the agri cloth on several other crops and it works great. I didn’t have very good luck using bamboo stakes because it poked holes in the fabric but I found some bamboo u shaped hoops that worked. Next trip to HD I’ll be looking for the ladder mesh. thanks for the video great info as always.
Good luck next time. Try putting corks on the tips of the bamboo stakes.

I wish I could do brussels in the middle of summer!
I’d be interested to know how the flavor differs since you’re not getting that cold snap when they’re budded...
tried this. make sure you put traps for earwigs
I'll know better next time. Unfortunately I didn't pre-treat my Lacinato kale seedlings for eggs, & leaves are touching Agfabric. The Lacinato has had no end of pests {whitefly & cabbage worms}. I spray with neem occasionally still they've come back.
Love the mesh so not cabbage worm but when the aphids get in, infestation takes over lol
The egg layer for aphids is large. It should stop them less it sneaks in. But you can through in some lady bugs. That will be stuck in there and eat them.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN very true, thanks Gary!
When is your first frost date?
Thanks.. How to water after set up. Yes cabbage worms and cornworm beetles destroyed all of mine
Water spray right into it. No issue.

for those cool weather crops, when did you start those from seed?
Oh some were from the greenhouse I volunteer at about 6 weeks. I don't recall LOL. And some I just bought. The leggy ones were ones I grew.

Tried that on my 8 week old broccoli - lifted the row cover a week later to find it decimated. I had checked it beforehand for larvae- last time I try that 👎- I’ll be spraying using capt jack organic.
Had it clamped down with 8 clamps on a 5 gallon container 👎
Its good to treat when you put it down cause it only takes a few missed eggs.

The mesh is something to try, thanks! In hot climates i.e. inland southern California can we use the metal barrels or would they be too hot in the summer?
Hmmm they would heat up but not sure how much.

Gary, I had a quick question. If these plants are under the insect barrier how do they get pollinated? Or because they are leafy greens they don't need pollinated?
This group doesnt need it. Cucumbers, squash, zucchini would be a concern.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you for the feedback. :)
Does anyone know if the agfabric works for squirrels? I run outside banging pots together multiple times a day chasing them off. My neighbors must think I'm crazy.
I have to trap a release squirrels.

LOL but this tastes so much better and once up, there is not work.

You can always buy at the store. But I and my friends who get veggie gifts say the home grown veggies tasted so much better than store bought. You have to want to be a gardener to grow great veggies because it is work and an expense. But you also know exactly what your food was grown in and how. That outweighs the disappointments that come with gardening
Hi, just imagine you tarp all your garden what kind of gardening that would be.i rather go to bayer.
Not the whole garden. Just the brassicas.

I used this net and i gotta say it's pretty useless. For bigger animals yes but for those tiny annoying insects no. I switched to fabric that's used for screen print or spunbond fabric. Much higher density (tighter mesh) so those pests can't get in.
If it is UV protected, any fabric is fine. This stopped the egglayers.
