I've been dragged (against my will) into the organic way of growing

Garlic pepper tea works for alot of pests. Two bulbs of garlic and two hot peppers (jalapeno, habenero) in about half a blender. Mix thoroughly. Pour liquid from blender through a strainer into a gallon jug. Fill jug. Use 1/4 cup concetrate per gallon. Good for all kinds of pests. I have added 1oz. of molasses and orange oil for even more effect. Works great.

Of course, the BT does wonders on cabbage worms, so do my fingers.

I just read that planting mint near plants will repel the butterfly that gives rise to the cabbage worm.

Put them in some soapy water.
