Cabbage Brassica Collars With Copper - 50

Simply slide the pre-cut collar around the base of your young brassica plant's stem, pressing it into the soil so it fits snugly and covers the exposed soil surface.

The copper impregnation acts as a deterrent to slugs and snails, discouraging them from crawling onto the collar and reaching the plant.

Yes, the durable fabric construction allows for reuse in subsequent growing seasons if they remain in good condition after removal.

They are ideal for young brassica plants and seedlings with stems that can fit snugly within the 12.5 cm (5-inch) diameter of the collar.

They are designed to prevent the flies from laying eggs at the base of the plant, thereby reducing the risk of root damage from larvae. This significantly enhances protection but complete prevention can depend on various environmental factors.

By covering the soil around the base of the plant, the collars block sunlight from reaching the soil surface, which suppresses the germination and growth of weeds.

Yes, they offer a physical barrier method to reduce the need for chemical pesticides and herbicides, supporting more natural gardening practices.

Gently adjust the collar, ensuring the fabric edges overlap sufficiently to create a snug fit without damaging the stem.

Ensure the collar is pressed firmly into the soil around the base of the plant, leaving no gaps for pests to bypass. Check that the copper impregnation is still present and effective.

Re-position the collar to cover any exposed soil around the stem. For larger plants, consider using a second collar or additional mulch.

Carefully check if the stem has thickened significantly. If so, the collar may need to be loosened or removed to prevent girdling. Ensure the cut is open enough to allow for stem expansion.
