Thread: Pest control for cabbage plants

<div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:14pt;">We have some kind of bugs eating at the leaves of our cabbage plants. Does anyone have a chemically free pest control for these bugs. Someone told me dishsoap and water, bud I don't remember how much of what.

Are there slimy trails? It could be slugs. Put out saucers of flat beer to trap them, or go out after dark with a flashlight and salt shaker. Salt them, and watch them dissolve. You could also encircle the plants with used coffee grounds or crushed egg shells to deter them. If it is cabbage loopers, little green worms, you'll have to google it. I don't remember what I used to do for them, besides grab them with tweezers and stomp them. Jeanie
