What's wrong with these cauliflowers?

[Aberdeenplotter]

I put down slug pellets around the plants as well .

I use crushed egg shells and little blue sweeties .......now need to make collars . Blimey gonna take for ever to plant a bed up at this rate

[Potstubsdustbins]

Don't they give somewhere for the snugs to hide out ...........

Binners I use the bought ones mainly because they compost well and I haven't found slugs to be a problem. Well no more than usual.

you can cover with fleece or mesh instead of using collars.

The only bought ones I have used are made of felt and don't compost well with me. I also find they are very hard and chafe the plant stems sometimes so badly that the plant collapses. That's why I started using carpet underfelt

I cover my brassicas with enviromesh from the start and therefore don't have to worry about flies, butterflies or birds. Slugs can still be an issue but not having anywhere to hide helps to spot them.

Ah......my brassica beds are covered with debris netting . Hopefully that helps cos I read than cabbage root flie are the same size as a house fly .......
