HI, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CATTAPILLERS ON MY BROCOLLI, CABBAGE ETC. WHATS THE BEST WAY TO GET RID OF THEM?

Question

I NEED SOMETHING TO SPRINKLE OVER THEM,BEFORE THEY EAT ALL MY VEG, IN THE GARDEN

Answer 1

if you go to the Garden Center they sell a powder to sprinkle on them ,I forgot the name of it, sorry  !

Answer 2

Sprinle with soapy water

Answer 3

If you don't want to spray the veg which I wouldn't want to do my old Mums solution was to pick them off.  

Answer 4

you have two options here-you can dust them with sevin dust; or you can spray them with a solution of 1 cup liquid dish soap, 1 cup mouthwash, 1 cup chewing tobacco juice, and warm water to the fill line of your 20 gallon hose end sprayer. hope this helps :) oh i almost forgot to tell you how to make the tobacco juice!!!

To make the juice, you put three fingers of chewing tobacco into a nylon stocking and soak it in hot water until the hot water is dark brown. hope this also helps :)

Answer 5

I use an home made "bug spray"

6 cloves garlic

2 Tablespoons dried cayanne pepper

1 onion diced

4 cups of water

Blend this in your blender

Then pour into a large container, preferrably gallon sized, or you will need more than one container.  

Add

1 tsp of soap, not detergent!

add enough water to make one gallon

Let sit for aprox 2 days then strain and pour some in a spray bottle or sprayer and spray your garden.  You might want to use just on a couple of your plants at first to make sure it does not harm your plants.

This is all natural and not poisonious to children or pets!

Answer 6

Leave the CATTAPILLERS alone and get your Veg from Asda

Answer 7

Safest bet is repeated spraying with soapy water, the chemical solutions can make the veg dodgy to eat for a few days.

Answer 8

eat around them lol
