When is it best to start netting veg?

[Garlic Butter]

Net yesterday is my advice.I thought I would leave my brassicas to "!come on a bit" popped down the plot this morning and the Wood Pigeons are plump and healthy and my cabbages etc. dessicated

Beetroot apparently likes a slight dusting of rock salt around its feet as it mimics the sea side

[Snadger]

Is it not true that the reason Jersey Royals are always clean and slug-hole free is because of the sea weed applied helping the tatties, and the slugs not liking the salt in it?

I'm growing Seakale this year, wonder if it's worth while giving it the 'ring of salt' treatment!

[Flummery]

I thought people rinsed the salt off seaweed before application? Maybe I dreamed it?!!
