That looks a lot like the dreaded flea beetle which attacks most brassica crops
Resolva bug spray is the solution , ensure you follow the withdrawal periods or you can damage your kidney's etc.

I don't think so! If rather lose the lot.
I'll apply a neem oil spray and hope for the best.
Slightly soapy water protects the plants it's sprayed on from insect attack and stops their eggs from hatching .

Late last night I sprayed the radishes affected by suspected flea beetle, with some leftover neem oil/agricultural soap mix. Been in the sprayer for weeks.
Today they've picked up.
Made a fresh 2L and gave them a good dousing.

CACTUS COMPOST; a couple of years ago I made up some compost based on what info I could find on the web and some advice from the garden centre. I cannot recollect what the "formula" was, but even for cacti, I think it needed to retain a bit more moisture.
Can anyone recommend a good commercial cactus compost or offer a formula for one which is tried and trusted?
Thanks.

I am not sure the OP,s neighbour does either.it would be an interesting test case..
Already been tested quite a few years ago I remember it in the news. Didn't fly with the magistrate and the fine stuck.

Hmm? Its a ceptable for grey water to grain into a storage and then be pumped go a hosepipe. The water companies even recommend doing that..
I helped out the DrivewayGuy last week and it seems he had some spare turf. The customers daughter originally was going to take it but didnt, so it was offered to me to save, before it cooks itself!
10 rolls, 1.6m by 0.6m I think they are.
I didnt have time this morning so unrolled them on a tarp in the garage, watered and rolled them back up. I'm hoping they survive!
He said they are £6 m² so roughly 60 quids.
