How can I stop pigeons eating my cabbages and sprouts?

Our Advice:

You can either net the growing area or spray the plants with Grazers, a mineral extract that has proved very effective at preventing deer, rabbits, pigeons and Canada geese from eating plants. It affects the taste for them, so they move elsewhere. It works best when sprayed over the leaves of plants, but you will need several applications to protect your vegetables.
