    :gnthb: My friend in Canada & her Dad before her swears that this will stop the cabbage whites laying eggs & your Brassicas being stripped.......!!!! :scratch::wink::skp::D I don't know but it is so cheap & harmless I am going to try it this year..

    Or you could use Black treacle if you can't get molasses... :wink: What do you reckon folks.. Worth a try..?? :D

    I'm a bit sceptical Marley, I think the sugary coating might cause other problems like attracting greenfly, also I'd be worried it might bung up my sprayer. Good luck and let us know if it works :thumb:
