Kohlrabi and kale being chomped up
« on: May 25, 2015, 22:58 »
Help please,

My kohlrabi and kale leaves are being chewed to bits.

I started off putting down slug pellets. No good. I looked for caterpillars. No sign of them. Two days ago I covered them with fleece in case it is bird damage. I can still see the centre of the kale plants, so they are not totally destroyed. Not sure about the kohlrabis but they are still standing at least.

Any ideas please?

Anton

Sounds like birds. Cover with netting held up on hoops or sticks with an upturned plastic bottle or plant pot on top. Keep it high enough up so the birds can't get at the plant underneath if they land on it
