oh valmarg it was more than a laugh - once you'd put the idea into my head I started thinking how useful it might be on the plot for shed and greenhouse - and seats that get covered in cobwebs - crevices - ceilings - so the whitefly vaccing could be sort of 'incidental' ... ::)
scouring ebay for a vaccy as we speak! :-[ ;D

Well Supersprout, having been shopping in Burton on the beer (aka upon Trent), Tchibo have a hand held cordless vaccy for £15.00.

Hope this helps!!!

Our brassicas are covered in white fly too.  They started late this year but have really got a hold now.  I have tagetes bordering my brassica bed as a companion plant. What a brilliant idea this hand held hoover thing is.  We have one so I am straight up to the plot this weekend to give it a go!  :D busy_lizzie
