I netted the brassicas to keep the pigeons off, but the butterflies wiggle through the netting. Next year I think I am going to make some moveable cages out of enviromesh
I netted the brassica's, but didn't just get butteflies under the netting, those that couldn't get under it laid their eggs on the flowers, there isn't one sunflower leaf without holes in. At least if they just go for brassica's I know where all the eggs are
So ive spent some more time and im ready to start improving soil have ordered 1800 litres of manure and topsoil also what is the best way to use this ? Simply spread and dig it in and if so how deep
As I don't grow veg I can't help but just wanted to say that I love your enthusiasm, the way you question and act upon advice and wish you great enjoyment in your garden. The kids will learn so much from knowing their veg comes from their own garden.
