Caterpillars!

[Mr&MrsB]

Help!!

We are being over run with two types of caterpillars in the green house,

So far they have distroyed 2 berry plants and now the other type is attacking the brocoli plants.

They are only tiny but there are HUNDREDS! we battle everyday getting the baby snails out of the green house, if we were to pick off all teh cats too we would be there all day!

What can i do to save my veg/fruits

oh no you poor things.
I read earlier, not sure if it was on here actually aout a tobacco spray to deter caterpillars. I am soaking some now apparently its best to soak for a week then apply! Its worth a try!
What do these beasts look like?

Good luck Sandra

Your brassicas really don't need to be in a greenhouse. Too hot for them.

Put them outside, but cover with netting (in future - it's prob. too late for them now). Keep picking the caterpillars off

Hi Stanhol with ref to tobacco spray i make my own but then comes a dilemma do i use it in the greenhouse, depends on what one, is growing inside.Ive always resisted from smoking in the greenhouse as it dose,nt do the other plants any good.
