Busy time in lock down garden. Flea beetle does not seem to be aware of lock down rules. Anyone got advice on how to deter the little critters. Swede seems to be suffering the most. Cheers knee Deep.

    Just report it knee deep. I'm sick of these selfish beings flouting the lockdown rules and putting our NHS at furthur risk!

    A piece of yellow card smothered in vaseline. Drag it gently over the leaves , the flea beetles jump and stick to the card.
