Cabbage worms on broccoli, what do you do?

Mudman · April 23, 2012

I have tried broccoli the last two years and I love how it tastes fresh out of the garden but have had problems with cabbage caterpillars when the second crop comes around. I have tried picking them and tried the BT powder and some other organic bug spray, but I always end up with them and have had some really gross situations in the kitchen. I would like an organic approach if possible. If I can't find anything that will work, I am just going to give up on it. Any help would be much appreciated.
