    When I was checking my winter veg which is all looking like swiss cheese (brussels, kale,broccoli etc) I saw some tiny white mothy things when I disturbed the leaves. Are these what's been munching? Do I need to cover everything with fleece or is there another cure?
    Thanks
    Beanie

    Sounds like whitefly to me, Beanie. They wont be eating the plants though. More likely Keel slugs, put down some pellets.:thumb:
