Brassicas Bed Preparation

Brassicas are a family of plants that include cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts, cabbage and more. They all have similar preferences to bed preparation and suffer from slugs and cabbage white butterfly laying eggs. These eggs hatch into caterpillars which eat the plants. In this video I show how I set up the beds and enclosure to protect the plants as much as possible.

Hi Steve
I find beer traps the most effective and economical. Just got to deplete the bugers before planting out. See you later.

Hi Lorriane. oh no. Check under the pots/trays and stagging in the greenhouse. They hide in the day and come out at night and eat your plants.
