Especially when you don't use it yourself. I'm so jealous of your cabbages. If I planted 10 cabbages tomorrow, the entire cabbage white population of butterflies would head straight to Essex to eat them ! I hope you get to the bottom of wahts caused it.

Yeah... a few years ago in the US all of the gardening magazines were running articles about gardens being contaminated with weed killers through cow and horse manure. Somehow the spray survives even being eaten by the animal and being composted. The main symptons were that the plant leaves looked burnt and curled. The worst part is the farmers providing the manure had absolutely no clue at the time. Sure hope this is not the case here :(<br />Ugh!Cottontailfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603586688895863727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-31992845557986683792017-07-21T10:51:04.436-07:002017-07-21T10:51:04.436-07:00I read another blog called marks veg plot he had t...I read another blog called marks veg plot he had terrible problems with compost he bought in from some where and it had weed killed plants in it or something like that and all of his plants had leaf curl.<br /><br />http://marksvegplot.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/second-thoughts.html<br /><br />Maybe worth looking at his summer periods 2014 and 2015Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.com
