Broccoli Rabe and Caterpillars

Question

Within the last week my broccoli rabe has grown about a foot; however, caterpillars are now prolific, eating everything. They are green and about 1-1 1/2′ in size. How do I get rid of them?

Answer 1

In addition to using Bt in the garden for worms and caterpillar pests, you can try neem oil. Both are safe to use. These article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/prevent-caterpillars.htm
