How do ya water them? Knifebar yes mate the collars are made from what ever you want old lino good and yes it does go at the stem of the plant as for watering mate just water around the collar and keep an eye out for cabbage whites another tip put all your unwanted rhubarb leaves in a barrel of water [stinks to high heaven ] but when sprayed over your brassicas and you wont have a problem with butterfly's or caterpillar's hope this helps you mate .. ..john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue 1 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 i used to have an allotment several years ago and i used circles of old carpet around the stalks ,but a old guy told me to save the onion tops and dig them into the patch of ground you are going to grow your brassica plants the following year on, and sure enough it worked apparently the soil still smells of onion and the flies dont like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
