Fenugreek as a sacrificial crop

[MAdam Cholet]

Dont know if it will work again this year, but last year we planted fenugreek as a green manure and left it over the winter. We found that by the end of the winter the pigeons had decimated the fenugreek and left all the brassicas alone. I think it may be something to do with the leaves being a bit more tender. we are having another go this year and we will have to see what happens.

I shall be using good ole' fine mesh chicken wire cages over my brassicas I reckon. seems to have worked for the carrots that were mysteriously getting eaten by something. I've now got three carrots left and i'm nurturing them with all my energy hahaha!!!
