I had 20 red and white cabbages under netting but all of them are now skeletons as we have had so many caterpillars :cry: I was picked loads off daily but couldnt keep up will try some of that debris netting (if I can get hold of some?)

I got 50m x 2m orange debris netting for £25 inc VAT and carriage on Ebay. It the definitve stuff, without doubt. The CWB were getting thru the 3/4" mesh green plastic garden netting.

Just washing the pants down with a hose blasts the caterpillars off, even thats worth doing.

Always look ahead, there are no regrets in that direction
