There is something so satisfying about enjoying homegrown cabbage family vegetables that the insects didn’t get to first. All of these are considered cool-season crops, which means they should be planted in the spring once the soil is dry and crumbly. But there are a few exceptions on the timing of the plantings. The seeds of all of the crops listed above – except for broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower – can be direct-sown in the garden around April 15. Cabbage is a winter vegetable, so the best time for sowing seed is in June, July or spring. The perfect span for installing Cabbage netting is spring. Cabbage netting will help to make the soil and environment ideal for cultivating. 5 tips for Cabbage Netting Do: Insect-pollinated crops such as strawberries and courgettes are unsuited to growing under insect-proof mesh during their flowering period. Netting and wildlife Peas – young shoots and pods prone to being eaten by birds. Tall 6 foot A frame with bird netting draped completely all around with no openings for birds to get trapped inside. The pea plants generally don’t reach 6 feet but this is so that the plant tends to stay inside the cage and not poke through and out. Any stems that do make it through I consider ok for the birds to take.

Versatility: While cabbage netting is primarily used to protect cabbage plants, it can also be used for other types of vegetables that are susceptible to pests and environmental factors. It is also suitable for use in greenhouses and other indoor growing environments.Improved growth: By providing protection from pests, excessive sun, and wind damage, cabbage netting can help cabbage plants to grow more efficiently and produce healthier, more abundant crops. Raised humidity levels and subsequent soft, lush growth produced when growing under insect proof mesh may encouragediseases such as Botrytis and downy mildew. Slugs and snails can be encouraged by the higher humidity beneath mesh. Restricting access to weeds Using Cabbage Netting will reduce your expenditures on agriculture.

Veggiemesh Ultra-fine insect netting may also be used to screen glasshouse doors and vents, and windows to exclude insects. It can also be laid directly over crops or just lay over hoops or garden cages. Veggiemesh will also protect against birds, rabbits, wind and hail. Cover crops as soon as you plant them and leave covered until harvest for bigger better crops free from insect damage. Mesh Size: The mesh size of cabbage netting can vary, but it is typically small enough to keep pests like cabbage moths and aphids from reaching the plants. The mesh size is usually between 0.8 and 1.2 mm, which is smaller than most insects that pose a threat to cabbage plants. Another organic method involves the use of Corry’s Slug & Snail Copper Tape, which is easy to find at garden centers. The reason this product works is because the skin of slugs and snails reacts electrically to copper, so it creates a barrier that slugs won’t cross.This netting has a mesh size too compact for bees to fit through. As a result, if you are growing crops that need pollinating, remove this netting during flowering. Cabbages vary in size too, with many excellent compact varieties that are ideal for small plots or small households. Winter varieties, on the other hand, tend to be larger and more robust. Fleece should be used where crops needto be provided with extra warmth or frost protection. Encouraging diseases and slugs
