    Disaster cabbage root fly is in gonna lose the lot ?

    By all accounts there's nothing you can do to save the crop

    Any ideas as to what I can do to prevent it next year 

    Thanks

    i have watered them down with jeyes fluid as i tried this last year and still got a decent crop so it might work this year as well but we'll see
