    Will brassicas grow happily in a scaffold debris netting tunnel or do they need full sun?

    Cheers Freddy, I suppose the answer is to try it? If it doesn't work I can always convert the netting tunnel to a polytunnel or use a wider mesh.

    I'll grow some in the open at home to gauge the difference.
