It is obviously too late now to save my Brussels sprouts and broccoli from the ravages of caterpillars. We used netting, but it was apparently not a fine enough mesh. But what about next year? I do NOT want to use the insecticides you suggest… a bit surprised that you did! Am always concerned about any poisons with food – but also fear their effects on non-target species… and the birds etc. which eat the larvae.
