| Earlier we had caterpillars eating our vegetables (spinach, lettuce, carrots, & sweet potatoes). The problem stopped after we started covering the plants (container garden) at night. Do I have to keep doing this for the whole season? Or will the caterpillars cease to be a problem after a while? If so, when? Thanks! |

| you can use bt an inorganic product. another thing that works is grow a pot of rue and put the pot next to the plants your wanting to stop the worms. i have rue and the worms eat it like candy. |

| So steven...what do the caterpillars feasting on your rue look like? |
