There is an organic spray you can use that consists of a fungus that
when
eaten by caterpillars growns inside them and kills them.
It only consumes/kills caterpillars, nothing else.
Can't remember the name though but the packet I bought was a "Bio"
product.



Thanks, I`ll have a look.


Just found the old packet.... Bio BT. caterpillar killer. contains Bacillus
thuringiensis. var. kurstaki.

I wonder if the EU has effectively banned this too? There seems to be
almost nothing left on the chemicals shelf at the GC these days for veg
growers.
