And yes, just spray with Bt every other week and your problem will be greatly reduced. (For me, it greatly reduces the damage, but there are still a few worms at any given time in my broccoli heads, which is really unappealing...) | |

| Aug 23, 2012 at 20:28 | comment | added | Brian Surowiec | I had a similar experience with my cabbage & kale last year. It seemed like a losing battle and as a last resort I sprayed them all with BT. In a couple days I had no more caterpillars to worry about for the rest of the season and the plants all came back. That’s my weapon of choice now for these. | |
