Butterflies are beautiful to look at but when they lay eggs on your veggies and the caterpillars eat your entire crop it can be really depressing. The easiest thing to do is stop them from getting to your vegetables.
Butterflies lay eggs on specific things – cabbage whites lay eggs on cabbages and other brasiccas. You don’t have to worry about red admirals as they love nettles!
There are lots of moths that can damage fruit trees too, and other pests like birds can devastate crops too. Pigeons love cabbage and will eat as much as they can get. A structured net system that keeps them off the plants is best. Loose laid netting can be stood on so they can peck through. Good quality netting like this at Harrod Horticultural can really help prevent pest damage.
Our allotment suffers a lot from pigeon damage – when they get at young plants they can eat the whole plant, or damage it so much that the plant can’t survive. Maturing crops can also be eaten – and you don’t fancy a cabbage after it’s been half eaten by pigeons!
