White fly and brassicas
« on: September 14, 2011, 14:56 »
Everything seems to be covered in whitefly what can I do and does it make brassicas inedible?
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

No, just a bit crunchy!

Soak them in salty water about 30mins before cooking & they'll rinse off.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thanks. My mother in law said they were inedible and spoilt. Shows what she knows!
