I live in northern Delaware, Zone 7A. Last year, in spring, I had amazing success with Broccoli plants. I did some in pots and others in the raised garden.
This year, I can't get one single plant to grow, because the leaves keep getting eaten. The same goes for my cauliflower and cabbage.

I've tried Captain Jack's Neheem Oil, Scrub n soap, and putting a big-proof net over the plants. I don't see any bugs out there, slugs, or anything else, but I', not good at noticing them, so they could exist.

Any other ideas? someone recommended diatomaceous earth. What are your opinions of that? Any other ideas?

Thanks

Last Fall the cabbage worm, or maybe it was the armyworm, decimated my cabbage and broccoli. Even though I knew what was doing it, It took several days to actually see them. They are there and they will destroy transplants in a hurry.
