heh, yeah, they sure leave huge piles of droppings. yet they have to reach adult size eventually.
it has really helped a lot to rinse the plants off after picking the worms. makes the next round of hand picking easier.
in picking them off today i've gotten the population down significantly. only a few dozen today and most of them the smaller sized ones. will check again later.
looks like hand picking will be tolerable.
brocolli must be easier. you don't have to find 'em inside the curling leaves.
