Hi Folks,
This is the first of what may be; many requests for help and advice.
I've read somewhere in these hallowed pages that its a good idea to place a piece of Rhubarb in the hole prior to planting a cabbage plant to prevent club root.
An elderly guy (who grows the most fantastic veg) on an adjacent allotment say's he makes a hole using a 'bulb planting tool' then prior to planting the seedling, he fills the hole with a dilution of Jeyes Fluid (one cap full to a bucket of water) and allows it to drain away. After planting the seedling,he spreads a ring of lime around each plant.
I'm about to plant 50 brassica's, (two varieties of cabbage @ 10 plants each, 10 cauliflowers, two varieties of broccoli @ 10 plants each).
All the above is very good advice I'm sure, has anyone else any other thoughts please.
PS... I wonder if either, or both, of the above methods would work on
'all brassica's' or is it just cabbages which are affected by club root.
Regards
Terry
