Growing Broccoli

View the Broccoli page

19 Apr 09 Dawn (Australia - temperate climate)
I planted my first broccoli and had no idea about the moths! After nearly losing my plants I put large pieces of egg shell around the base and balancing on the stems and leaves. The moths think they are other moths and don't lay their eggs that produce the catapillars. So far so good, no green catapillars and my plants are coming back again.It's also pesticide free!
