Hopefully this will keep away the cabbage whites this year

Gotta try something this year, after most of my brassicas were decimated last year.
Can but hope!!!!

it'll work great as long as you fix it down tight at the bottom

Just drive some nails into your base board and hook them on that, it's how we fasten our nets and it'll save you getting blamed for the national coat hanger shortage

I have got to say that is some water works system you have in the back ground

At first glance i thought it was a painted goal :blink:

As a new grower are butterflys that savage ?

I may have to rig up something similar if that is the case.

bluealf ... me finks mumostig more has answered that one...

The water system, bits won from various jobs done in the past.
Always looking for more barrels...no water on site...the houses behind have
bib taps ...but not for us plotters to use

'ly
The old air raid shelter is mine to use, fitted an old door and mortice lock,
now my tool shed and water provider

Well i better be getting plenty more netting then

I have no water supply either, got 3 barrels set up and just waiting for my shed to rig up my own water system, hoping to make a continuous barrel to barrel flowing system.

On this score is it true that midgies lay their eggs in your water barrel if it isnt sealed ?

O yes it's true..............loads of them

bluealf · « **Reply #10 on:** April 13, 2009, 18:42 »

Well mine are sealed but the 3 plots next to mine havnt got theirs sealed and one has an old bath for his water.

I will be bitten to pieces, for some reason midgies love me

No ... but their caterpillars will eat your Brassicas to pieces

The Butterfly isn't called the "Cabbage White" for nothing
