I missed my monthly gardening club meeting last month.   It was about organic gardening.
Apparently a stick of rhubarb in the soil under a brassica plant deters those unwanted bugs, as the plants absorb something from the rhubarb and the bugs dont like the taste, so keep off the brassicas.
Can anyone enlighten me on this please, and when I find out more I will let you know too.
Many thanks.

I have never heard of this -- I hope you can find out  more as I am intrigued

This is what I said back in 2008:

Been there, seen it, done it.

Don't work!!!

Hmmm, oh well. Will eat the rhubarb instead.

 That sounds like a plan
