Cabbage white
« on: May 22, 2016, 14:50 »
So, going on holiday soon, trying to get up to date with everything and at the moment the brassicas are protected from our local flying rats but will that be enough until say 15th June or should I cover with enviromesh before we go? Cheers.

Will do, just makes weeding more of a trial.  Not seen any up here in the great frozen north yet but not worth the risk.  Cheers!

There were a few flying around here this weekend.
Ignoring my garden as I've already put up my clear plastic covered cabbage white printed decoys.
Sprouts all covered nicely too.

You make them yourself, has worked for a few years now for me and has fended them off already this year too.
Introduced them to my Dad and been working a treat for him too.
I was sceptical, but it works very well.

Have a read of this thread on here;

The template originally mentioned in that article and has been great for me is
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8Eq1vWYCVoiLURiU0hDNWI1LWc/edit?pref=2&pli=1

Make mine 2.5 inch wide x 2 inch high.
What I did last year was cut some of them in the shame shape out of plastic milk bottles and use a marker pen to add the black lines and dots. All worked great and will last a lot longer that way.
