Snails and bugs have eaten the leaves off my cauliflower and broccoli :( is there anyway I can revive them? Or do I just rip them out and start over? I live in Victoria and have put down copper tape to stop the snails, please not I do not want to use any chemicals as I would like to grow organic :)

I'm also in Victoria and found that cabbage moths were laying their eggs all over my cauliflower and broccoli. I found a great product called Dipel (Yates) which is basically a natural bacteria that rots the insides of the moth larvae yet is completely harmless to all other creatures. It's free of pesticides and can still be used by certified organic farmers as it contains no chemicals. I found it to be very effective
