Cabbage, no. It does seem VERY happy with compost around it and a good drink of Seasol, mind you everything seems to like that. I was recommended a food call GroRite, which is from hydroponics stores, and I've seen the results from that from the guy who rec'd it to me, so I'm definitely buying a bottle of it.
The biggest problem I've had is when it rains for days and you're at the mercy of the aphids. I use neem oil to control those, but when it's raining, it gets washed off, which is frustrating! The radish are quite happy left to themselves, but they love a lot of water, so it's best to make sure the soil doesn't dry at all during those dry periods. Part sun, too, so they're in pots under the semi-shade of my giant sage plant.
I love Diggers, it's such an awesome place. I'm looking forward to visiting the one in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens on Friday, I have no doubt I'll buy more plants!
