My allotment neighbour grows some wonderful brassicas under a
home-made cage. *Some posts hammered in, with jam-jars, yogurt pots or
similar upturned on each, and then the net fixed over it. *You need to
keep the net away from the leaves.

Or a netted tunnel. B & Q do 25mm blue plastic water piep. I think it's
about "20 a roll. Not sure if that is 25/50Mt though. If you erect then fix
the netting to the hoops , when not neded it concertinas down for neat
storage

I can't grow greens because of Rabbits and flying vermin.
My late neighbour kept fantails, then when he died his wife has kept
them, problem is they have crossed with Wood Pigeons, now the flock is
almost 30 strong, and I can't go shooting them.
I have wondered about usaing a hawk type bird scarer
