Brussel sprout plants
« on: June 09, 2008, 19:47 »
three times I have planted my Brussels sprout plants and twice the birds have eaten them, so.
So this morning I put black membrane down with splits for 10 plants, then 6 post around to hold the netting, put some bricks on the edge and some dirt/stones.
Watered and slug pelleted.
To night they have been nibbled, I left a small gap in one corner.
Next year I may make a remover-able frame that I can lift off and on.
Thats if I done throe in the towel before then.
I'm lost without my SatNav.

I have to net ALL my brassicas ALL the growing season. You get used to it!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Do not give up just yet. :wink:

You don't need to leave a gap, they also pick all that grows near the netting and etc. :lol:

The roomier, better cage you amke the more chance your plants get, you will get there.  :D
