          £27 to grow about 12 cabbages? Make one! canes and netting/voile. Play fun balls are about a fiver from Asd@ as I remember. Or use (old) tennis balls?

          I just draped fleece over the brassicas last year, worked a treat against cabbage whites but the warmth and moisture encouraged slugs. also the fleece just rips with any wind. I'll use white voile (net curtain fabric) this year, its a bit tougher but still cheap
