how to control cabbage butterflies and their eggs

Kill the eggs by crushing them with your fingers or use a spray when they hatch. You will have to be quick otherwise you will have nothing left!. I have put up netting this year and it has stopped them completely.

Or do what David does and check the brassicas every day removing the caterpillars if you have hens - which we don't - you can them give them a nice feed :-)

I have had netting up but some how still had issues with catapillars and cabbage white...will maybe do things differently next time, spending more time inspecting them daily
