Not wanting to spray, is there any other (easier)

Or shall I just hope for a couple of really frosty
nights.


I have not seen many green caterpillars this year but I'm not sure
why. Steinernema carpocapsae seems to be the natural way to kill the
caterpillars so I may have some of them hidden under the leaves. I'll
try not to eat any!
