Visited a garden centre today to look for a solution to the whitefly that have infested my brassicas. The unseasonal warm weather has led to hordes of these pests setting up home in my purple sprouting broccoli, my cauliflowers and my cabbages.
I looked at sprays including an organic one but did not feel comfortable about spraying my crops. I've bought some yellow sticky strips which I'll suspend just above the plants and see if that helps. The strips are really for greenhouse use but I'm going to try them anyway. The whitefly are attracted to the yellow colour - I hope it works!
