The other day I had a knock on my door and there was an old fella who wanted to do some kind of survey.
My front garden is a bit of a veg plot and he noticed I have spring cabbages planted.
He asked did i dip them in Jeyes Fluid before planting. Somewhat surprised I said no and he said its a good idea as it prevents some kind of cabbage worm eating the plants over the winter.
I would have thought this would have killed the plants myself and wondered if anyone here had heard of such a practice? |
