Hi guys
Im new to growing veg and when i put in my cabbage, broc, brussels and coli, a old fella on the next plot came and put off cuts of drain pipe round them all and said to leave them on to protect the plants and encourage them to grow as they would grow up the tube to wards the light quicker.
I just wondered how long should I leave the drain pipes around the plants and is the advice i was given correct? They are now starting to appear over the tubes and the tubes are about 4-5 inches
