PLEASE HELP with Caterpillars


Green caterpillars are stripping my Asian greens. At first I could deal with a couple by checking daily and removing, now they are dealing with the rocket, and that is where I draw the line. Please help with a non toxic solution.

In comes the New Year


Today I got down and dirty spring cleaning the garden, like I did my pantry last week. All my lettuce (most of my lettuce) had gone to seed, LC thinks I didn't water enough, so I have been out there watering nightly since, thanks LC. Pulled the seedy lettuces, planted asian greens, new lettuce, added blood and bone into troughs about 5 cm away from new planting as per packet instructions. I am assuming adding it direct into the new planting soil is a bit full on?
Had great joy eating my first yellow bean today, it was so flavoursome. Raw and crunchy, just the way I like it..
