So these little green caterpillars have been eating most of my kale plants. What can I do to prevent this from happening without chemical pesticides?

  • Look into and read up on BTK (Bacillus Thuringiensis Kurstaki) insecticide.

  • Also attracting caterpillar predators (animals, birds, etc that naturally feed on them) into your garden can make a considerable difference in their control.
