To the kind soul who posted the tip for spraying members of the cabbage
family with a molasses solution, thank you so much. Today, I noticed a
white moth hovering around my brussel sprouts. I quickly made up a
solution of molasses and rushed back to the garden to spray. The moth
did not land! It seemed to be repelled by the molasses. I sprayed the
broccoli too for good measure. I think I will spray again for the next
few days. If it keeps the cabbage caterpillars off, I will be so happy.
Thanks again!

solution?

Thanks,

the only problem is a steady supply of moles to last you through the
season.

Sorry for not getting back to you before now. I've been busy in the
garden. I used about a tablespoon of molasses in a spray bottle filled
to the top for a solution of about a litre. So far, so good! No little
critters

Thanks all for the molasses tips. I'll mix up a batch tomorrow.
