| What can be done about these pesky little things? Ever since March, they've made cultivating any brassicas practically impossible - the broccoli is OK once it made it past the baby stage, but rocket, mustard greens, pak choi etc all impossible. |

| The only way to protect leafy veg from flea beetle is to completely cover the crop with fine enviromesh as soon as it is sown or planted out. |
