Among summer residents, cabbage is one of the most beloved vegetables. But at the same time, it is often attacked by various pests. I found a good method for preserving my crop: I put caps made of non-woven material on cabbage. To do this, you need to cut out circles of the desired size from Lutrasil, sew rubber bands to them along the bottom. Hats are ready! You can buy them in garden stores: I take disposable ones at the pharmacy. I carefully put the caps on the plant during the period of activity of butterflies. They protect cabbage well from cabbage flies, snails and slugs, help with adverse weather, excessive heat and cold.
