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.

Couldn't agree more with Jamie with his comment re: greens being tricky in Sydney summers. There is a reasonably good article about green caterpillars:

I have taken the approach of trying to plant a big variety of flowers that attract beneficial insects (eg. wasps eat caterpillars)- although I can't say that this is definitely the reason for my current lack of caterpillars! Fennel flowers, daisies, sunflowers, marigolds are all good. So pleased to hear that you have started picking beans! Great work. :)
