  1. Just a tip: I use rhubarb-slurry. You take a bucket, stuff it full with torn up rhubarbleaves, pour water on it till the bucket is filled and put it away for about 2 weeks. It will rot and get very smelly. You use the moisture of it 1:10 in a watering can and splash it over your young brassica's or over older ones. It makes the plants stronger and I guess they do not smell like brassica to insects that much anymore. You can put some green soap into it to make it stick more to the leaves, but I usually do without. If it raines a lot, it will help less, but the plants like it anyway. And the rhubarbleaves will be available. It does smell awfull. So better not spill any on your clothes.

  2. Last year I fought and lost to the cabbage moths/worms despite BT, neem oil, etc. My daughter & I used your brassica protection plan this fall 2022 with the bamboo canes, turned over plastic bottles to support fine insect netting…. and it's working splendidly!! Thank you, from Georgia, USA I took pics to post but I don't see how to post them.

  3. Netting is the best solution. It's quick, efficient, and instantly effective. Planting deterrent plants requires the time and resources for them to grow. Thank you for the vid.
