Cabbage Worms or Loopers on Brussel Sprouts
I have 3 big beautiful brussel sprout plants that had been doing great until about a week ago. Now the leaves are filled with holes on all three plants. We found small green worms on one plant and picked them off, but the next day, we discovered a couple more worms. All info I've seen recommends "appropriate insecticides". But my garden is organic, and I'm planning to keep it that way. Anyone have any ideas on ridding the garden of these worms w/o pesticides?

I am having the same problem with my Collard Greens. I purchased some Greenstep from Gardens Alive. I am waiting for it to come in. I am new to gardening and I have decided for my fall crop, I will purchase a roll of screen from the hardware store and attempt to make my own row cover since collards don't need to be pollinated.
