Enviromesh & fleece

Trishh_2

Can anyone recommend where to buy these, please. I'm determined that carrot fly will NOT get in :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Wonder if we're gonna get this "siberian freeze" that's being forecast for this month & feb ....
Thanks

Wilkos do garden fleece - own brand - 26ft x 5ft (8m x 1.5m) for £2.99 - well did last year - HTH

FREE FLEECE!

We recently bought new armchairs and they were covered in the stuff and I asked if could keep it. It seems any furniture shop/store has this unwanted fleece, so I suppose it's only a case of asking.

I've used old net curtains to stop carrot fly, works fine. Try freecycle or charity shops, or try the remainders bins in curtain/fabric shops and tack smaller pieces together.

I bought some enviromesh quite cheaply on Ebay. Unfortunately the white fly attacked my spring cabbages before I managed to cover them :rolleyes:

Still not completely got rid of it either. I thought the frost might have killed them off but there's still some on the underside of the leaves. Are they going to cause much harm to the cabbages come spring or should I be actively trying to get rid now, and if so, how?

Try using washing up water (un-used) in a spray bottle, the washing up [FONT=&quot]liquid brakes up the surface (surface of what I've never been sure but it doesn't harm the plant) so the white/green/black can't grip or walk around on the plant.

Slugs also don't seem to like the taste of the plant either if you keep spraying them. [/FONT]

Get some proper soft soap, its a kind of washing up liquid you are supposed to use in the garden, you only need a tiny amount (1%) in an amount of water so it lasts ages.
See at the bottom, soft soap is great.
