Thank you, super pleased with the cabbages, but they are taking so loooonnnnggg to grow 😂😂. Just hope they get there before the slugs !!

Get some food grade DE and mix it in your dirt. It's good for the soil and bad for slugs. Diatomaceous earth is well-known for its pest control properties, but DE can also be used as a natural soil amendment due to its mineral content and its ability to improve soil structure, increase nutrient uptake, improve water retention and drainage, and enhance overall plant growth.

I had looked at DE before and seriously considered it, but was put off when it said it would have no effect when it rained or was wet and would need to be reapplied. (Scottish weather !) My soil is mostly composed manure so it holds moisture really well and I feel that the DE would get damp and possibly not work that great for me. I really have to be on a budget with supplies and I don't think I could stretch to buying in products. However I will give it good consideration and more research in the spring again, anything to fight the little monsters eating all my veg 😀. Appreciate your comment, thank you 🌻💚🌻🌻💚🌻
