Le Potager du Sloth: Gardening without fatigue more than Bio

[Mrik]

image of flea beverages very present this year in Normandy with the heat.

Especially on everything that is cabbage. It seems that a bio market gardener tried to put a forcing veil on his cabbages to limit attacks but with the heat all creamed so more corns and cabbages!
If some have solutions to submit ...
I transplanted cabbage and I opted for the veil given the drop in temperatures.

Yes I have some on my Swiss and beetroot. I just stung fresh rosemary branches around the feet. I feel that it calmed the critters who have moved a little away ... to come back when the branches have dried! So to renew ...

Thank you for the info, I may put a foot of rosemary in my garden then!

I also tried this because of the pigeons and I also burnt my cabbages that I had to transplant. Yet it was before the big heat! The wintering veil has probably a missed effect! In one day plus a cabbage !!

There must surely be tight mesh nets - rather than forcing sails - to protect against this type of insects, right?

Hello, good holidays to all,
A question concerning green manure seedlings - already mentioned but to be specified -:
- Which green manure can be sown in the hay in the fall for a mowing early next spring?
Thank you

I discussed it with my landscaper, who like us, has almost nothing in the garden because of the drought, he plans to sow oats, I told him about the rye forage, it's also good for him, the problem is to find seeds
I looked this morning in garden, I found alfalfa, and other green manure but not bad are frost,
I may go for alfalfa because I know where to find the seed,
I will search the net for rye, must I find the link given by Didier

Thank you for your answer!
Indeed, alfalfa is very prescribed however it is difficult to delete I think.
As for frost, here in southern Brittany, we are relatively spared.
To be continued. ...

on the package I read that alfalfa had an average life of 3 in good conditions, but I think that once mown and covered with hay, it must be manageable, or hopefully

The best, as Didier frequently says, is to try and see
