Cabbage moths were like the plague last year in our garden. We purchased this 3-Season tent from Gardener’s Supply company, and will be giving a try this year to see how it works out. We’ll keep you posted on progress in this season of gardening videos. β₯ Rachel

Oh No! I have that, put it up and it is fabul;ous unless you get some high winds and then it is all over for the covers and so my covers are shredded and they don't make replacements…..
I bought a mosquito zapper….battery operated…..smack……theyβre gone…..itβs like $5 at Walmart…πit looks like a tennis racket….
You know onions deter those cabbage pests!!! Check out our last update to see out grid pattern with onions and cabbage bed
We put up a 10 x 20 cattle panel greenhouse…..when it comes to protecting plants from bugs buy several yards of voile material. Then Loweβs sells bendable wire you can make hoops for your plant rows…take material and clamp or close pin it to those wires….
Instant bug proof cover….
Love the little green house. Showed video to hubby and he was already ordered one for me and a Potato growing bag. Going to use green house for kale, spinach and Broccoli. We get little worms and grey bugs do hoping this will help. And my onions showed up today from Dixon Dale Farms. Very exciting day.
We have a lot of cabbage butterflies here in the Netherlands. I always put netting over my brassicaβs and kales. I use pvc tubes with cheap lace curtains over them. Rain gets through, wind is a bit less. They hold two seasons and do the job just perfect!
Those damn things ate all my kale in 2 days. There was literally only stalks left when I got home.
These are so convenient, you are going to LOVE them Rachel!
I have two similar here in Australia, no netting though, just the greenhouse plastic. They were instrumental in starting my corn early!
Having netting to fit would be even better as boy do we get cabbage moths!
In my garden I only have two months a year where they ARENβT flapping around everywhere π
Ooh thats a great shelter love it. We always net our Brassica plants π± but loving the greenhouse part. That will be do useful for your planting. Thanks for sharing πππ±π±π±π±βοΈβοΈβοΈ
Your bean trellis is going to be so nice!
And to have a shaded area to sit during the summer will be magical when it is in bloom and the as the beans mature. π€©
I've had this exact greenhouse kit for a few years. works extremely well against cabbage moths!
I LOVE your trellis spot!
Does it only open on one side? Or are there zipper doors on both sides?
I have issues with owls eating all my snap peas, and an unknown critter eating the leaves of my πΆ plants. Omg the white cabbage moths are ridiculous here in California Nov-March when I plant my brassicas. π€π» good luck with new new cover. π₯°ππ»β€οΈ
Oh my, I want to do this to my garden. Thank you for this video.
Where did y'all get that glider chair setup?
I love this little green house ! I bought small hoop houses this year so I can try getting plants outside and thought they would be good for brassicas . I am not getting notifications from your channel I just missed a bunch and thought how come I have not seen any videos from you guys .
I have these tents on my raised beds and they are wonderful! I hope you like them just as much
Truly hoping that the little Green House is the protection that you've been wanting. You express such a beautiful passion for gardening. π
I use BTK π works perfect
I bought and used the same thing. Lasted two seasons then I had to re paint the metal tubes because they rusted in my climate quickly. But love the system it works well.
Rachel did this work? Were you happy with it? Thanks!
