My broccoli plants are getting consumed by those white moths at the moment. Any ideas on how to stop this attack? I have pets so don't want something that may harm them. Thanks.

Kate I use Yates vegetable dust to control insects, as well as pyrethrum in my vegetable garden Pyrethrum is also good for control of pests in cycads, roses and other ordimental plants

I use a solution of garlic & chilli peppers and spray on the plants. cut 5 cloves up in small pieces add heaps of chillies to a two litre container of water. Let it sit for four or five days. Strain and pour into a spray bottle. Spray all over the plant and roots I sometimes reuse the mix two or three times until the mixture is impotent. I always have at least 2 bottles ready to go. Careful NOT to get any solution on you. It reeks!
