    Thats the one, works wonders. Used it last year and worked well, so bought another a few weeks ago. Got some big nets from wilko for £5 and added bamboo cains to keep them up and let plants grow. See my thread. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2498303 for pics.
    Kind Regards

    1. Find an annnoying small child (between 3 to 6yrs old should do)
    2. Bribe them for 50p pocket money
    3. Get them to pick the caterpillars off
    4. Get child to put caterpillars in jar and screw on lid.
    5. Check childs work and pay up.
    6. Get beer out of fridge, sit and watch your garden grow, having sent small child back home.............................:rotfl::rotfl:
