Hi

I went to my allotment this morning and somehow the 20 or so cabbag
collars i put around the bae of my plants in the hope that it migh
help prevent root fly are no longer around the stem of the plants. Eac
of them are now about a foot away from the plant and there are signs o
disturbance around the base!

Any ideas what could have done this, has anyone expereineced thio
before and how i could prevent it from happening again?

Thank

I have had this happen to me, but do not know what has caused it. It will be
interesting to find out.
