My green veg has been destroyed by the damned birds, the sprouts and
another, whose name I cannot remember, have been decimated by the
******* birds, how can I stop the damned things from getting at the
green veg?

Netting, we treated ourselves to a large 6m x 6m fruit cage for our
brassicas and move it every year in accordance with our 4 year rotation.

I have wondered about something like that, but the price has been putting
me off!

If you don't want to go the expense of building a cage, just drape the green
netting over your veggies.
Or shoot the pigeons, woodpigeon breast is marvellous eating. It's yummy.

Hi,

I bought some green netting ( approx 1mtr x 2mtr x two in a pack) from
Poundland last year, almost certain I saw them again this year, worth
checking out anyway.

Good Luck.

Gary.
