What I sprayed them with. Took a break from preparing for a show on Monday and while inspecting my cabbages i thought to myself by far the best and cleanest cabbages i have grown for a long time

Davy.....Wow they look fabulous, congrats. Not a hole in sight.
Please tell me, do you dilute the washing up liquid or use it neat? How often have you sprayed them etc etc.
Many thanks

Lauren :)

Lauren, I did not measure at all just put the lemon into the spray diluted and thought that smells about right and sprayed once at the begining of the season then again after the rain stopped in August
