In reply to johno..If you have huge leaf growth with either Swedes or cabbage ,caulies toms or most others it can often be because of to much nitrogen. You try to build up the soil with chemicals when a better way is organic compost.I have discovered this the hard way. Best of luck keep trying and you will get it right Regards Pete
