Check brassica netting is secure
Ensure your brassicas are still well protected against pigeons by giving your netting a once-over. Make sure the structure holding the netting up is secured against stormy winter weather and look particularly closely at any netting at ground level to make sure it is safely pegged down.
Canes laid down along the edge are a good way of holding down the netting, and are easy to take off for access. Whatever system you use, make sure it’s easy to lift the netting without snagging it.
