Grower note: Highly recommend using our worm casting products at planting or as a foliage application during growing season to prevent pest pressure (it’s what we do on the Hotchkiss Flower Farm to combat pests). Alternatively, floating row cover is recommended to have success growing all brassicas in our climate against cabbage worms.
