HHH TIPS No W4 Saving Winter Cabbage
« on: September 19, 2007, 23:38 »
If we get a mild slow start to winter, cabbages can start to put out too much leaf.This will affect the heart and size later in the season,and they may not be fit to stand a very cold snap.So what to do.

Dig your shovel in about a foot out and a spade depth down forming a square around the plant.This chops off the thin roots that will eventually weaken the whoe system when its strengh is most needed.Just push the spade right down do not wiggle it about then pull it out and tread the soil back down. Job done. :wink:
