🐛 Worm Protection — Cabbage Moth Decoy Included

How it Works:
Cabbage moths avoid plants that appear “occupied.” The decoy discourages egg-laying and helps reduce cabbage worm damage—a simple, chemical-free way to help protect your brassicas.

💡 Homegrown Gardens Tip:
Place the decoy near the plant canopy when transplanting to help confuse cabbage moths before they begin laying eggs.
