This is a bit of an esoteric question.

It is springtime here in the southern hemisphere. So I
have just planted some broccoli and cauliflower. I had
a problem with cabbage loopers (caterpillars who target
those crops) last year. The suggestions I heard on
this newsgroup was for BT.

But where can I get that product in Wellington, New
Zealand?

I saw a printed product guide from the Yates company,
which suggested that their, "Success" product was a
bacterial caterpiller-killer. Which suggests that it
is BT.

I already asked Commonsense Organics, and they don't
carry it.

Any other leads?

Thanks in advance...

have you tried online?
the other suggestion is floating row covers. this will physically keep the moths
away from the caterpillars. plant a "sacrifice" planting for the moths then pull the
plants up and burn after the moths have laid eggs.

The product name in Australia is Dipel (pronounced die pell).
