Whats the best way to get rid of the little green worms??? I have to many plants to pick them off like we use to do. They are drinking the seven I've been spraying them with every week.

What are you guys using and yes,,, these are the ones we eat :):):)

Thuricide-Bacillus Thuringiensis. Swear by it!! Safe and very effective.

You can get it on line or through garden catalogs but most garden centers and big box stores like Lowes or Home Depot should have it. Even the limited resources in this podunk town carry it. If you can't find it just ask for Thuricide! I think Bonide makes it.I use it for leaf miners on Spinach and can eat the Spinach the same day I spray.

Forgot to tell you what it does. The little worms ingest it and it kills them through their digestive system. Thus no cabbage looper moths develop.

S.C. Grower, I was thumbing through a catalog this morning and came across Thuricide. Said they were unable to ship to California. Were you able to find any? And I thought Oregon was bad!
