And what use is that against birds and slugs?

Brassicas + pigeons = nets.

No expections! No chemicals needed!

My money would be on pigeons, but depending on the location and type of damage it could be rabbits or slugs (even with the pellets about).

If you don't have any netting to hand, then I have found that those cheap poly tunnel cloches work to keep the pigeons off the brassicas.

how come a farmer can grow fields and fields of cabbages etc and not get a pigeon in sight ?,you can plant one cabbage and it will be stripped bare in seconds

Cabbages, you only have to upset one and the whole patch gang up on you

Because field cabbages are chemically fertilized and the birds are smart enough to avoid the yukky tasting things. They  much prefer organic cabbages 

[shaun]

you can get anti pigeon spray ?? i want some 

[Trillium]

I think it's called Eau de Hawk
