EARLY YELLOWROCKET / LAND CRESS (Barbarea vulgaris)
Hi Everyone, I'm a brand new forum member and this is my first post, so please be gentle
I am trying to self-serve and find the information that I need without asking too many stupid questions. I am planning to plant EARLY YELLOWROCKET / LAND CRESS (Barbarea vulgaris), mainly for cabbage white butterfly control. I have tried searching under all the common names I know of on this forum to see if a topic already exists (might be called something else in USA than here in Australia?), but I can't find one. Does anyone else grow this, and if so, what would your suggested spacing be per grid please?

Re: EARLY YELLOWROCKET / LAND CRESS (Barbarea vulgaris)
If you have the seed packet, it will give the spacing, like 6" apart. If you are using the SFG method of gardening with raised beds and grids, then you know that's 4/sq ft.
For white butterfly control, mechanical is best. Cover the brassica bed or squares securely with bridal tulle or insect netting to keep her off the plants.
