Thanks for the tips. I will be netting as soon as fruit shows. How do I go
about the potash? When & how much?
Cheers Barnze

Interesting ...

So far this year I've netted brassicas (seedlings) and french beans (after
sowing). I'll be netting our fruit cage very soon - redcurrants and
raspberries won't survive the birdies otherwise. By chance our
gooseberries
are in the same area and will be netted - *but* I didn't think they needed
to be netted. They're already quite a size and show no signs of pigeon
problems.

OTOH - I always successfully grew french beans without netting until a
couple of years ago - and then *nothing* - the birds got them soon after
germination !!

Guess those birdies change their habbits from year to year :-))
