Anyone got a good way of stopping cabbage moths and their offspring?
Garlic and chilli spray doesnt stop them from comming and laying, it only seems to agrivate the catterpilars for a bit but they get over it...
My Broccoli and cauliflower are full of holes! :evil:

pick em off... apparently they don't like the smell of their squashed comrades, so squish em onto the leaves... I have found this has helped with my grape vine being eater by a quite pretty caterpillar...

Thank you!
I have been squashing them as the only effective means of defense so far but I'll rub their bloody carcases over the leaves and see how that goes!
I think the squash racket is a good idea too :D will have some fun with that.
Gona google Dipel now and find out what it is...
Cheers.

Dipel is good. The chilli mix has to be strong. Add some Dipel to it.
