Thanks - how do you remove the eggs? Was thinking tissue? Wet or dry?

Check any other brassica you have ,swede etc as they will lay eggs on almost anything related ,I have had to resort to insect mesh to get any cabbage kale broccoli, but they are still laying even on my lettuse and caterpillars can walk..even crawling under the edge of my nets ,they are a NIGHTMARE!

Try to remove the eggs, and then spray the leaves with soapy water. Try to spray just the leaves... thats what i tend to do anyway,.. hope this helps...lol
