Ive just planted cabbage seedlings that I bought from Bunnings, and already 2 weeks after I did this - I noticed that all the small leaves have been eaten...?? What could this be & how best do I stop it from happening to new leaves?

I tried something ive never done before in my garden. A landscape gardener drop me off trailer loads of grass chipping, which put all over my growing plots (this was at the start of the summer). it was up to 100mm 150 thick.I watered it well and left it for two weeks or untill it brown on top.(I never buy seedlings always grow from seeds.) You can then make amake acircle and plant all your greens with out fear of wasting you time. cabbage,lettuce .caul,etc.If ever you in Kingsley area look for the vegies in the front garden.( the mad gardne.)Arthur
