Good grief! -
If it works I'm guessing that the leaves are putting out some type of hormone which slows down sprout development - the stalky bit at the Base might not produce it, or at least not as much.
Just a guess and possibly incorrect but I just wanted to make it look as if I was paying attention.Last edited by Jay-ell; 18-04-2017, 09:43 AM.

The bottom leaves do snap off easily when they start yellowing & are ready to come off. The leaves higher up don't break away so easily & I use my secateurs. I cut as close as I can to the main stem of the plant,about one inch,that little piece of stem eventually becomes squashed within the huge sprouts. I don't think the man in the video leaves his leaves on long enough,he cuts them too soon & pests would just destroy the upper leaves more....Location : EssexComment

Thanks, Jungle Jane. I'm used to removing the yellowing leaves, which just seem to fall off in your hand. But pruning the others is more of a mystery to me. I might try it this year on some plants and see if it makes a difference.Comment

I'm trying to explain how I take the leaves off but I have yet to find a sentence that doesn't sound rude.Comment

Well, just come out with it! Greenleaves did...

Okay: I just give them a sharp tug and they come off in my hand.
