Allotments 4 All

Went to the Lottie and found that all of my lovely swede seedlings have been attacked. They are full of tiny little holes as if a miniature beastie has been making lace doilies out of each leaf. can anyone tell who is the culprit, how I can dispose of the blighter and will the swedes recover? Answers please in a brown envelope to Sad Dinger, the Lottie, South Somerset.
Thanks...... >:(

the same bugger who attackes any other brassica leaves - flee beetle.

dust with derris - the plants should recover fairly quickly.

And keep them watered - or is that stupid or what?

They made a mess of my peas, they seem to be worse if the ground is very dry

Derris what is this and do they sell in B&Q?

mine doesnt :(

derris is this stuff:
