I was lucky enough to harvest some vegetables from my veggie patch recently!! The ride was not all smooth, there is always pest infestation challenge. I had slug eating the cabbage leaves, smearing few grains of salt over them helped control their population. My next challenge was the Cabbageworm, I sprayed a solution(1 tsp Neem Oil, 1 litre Water and 1/2 tsp dis washing solution) over the leaves and was surprised to see them gone!! Don't know what awaits next!! Now thinking of a store cabbage, I know how many pesticides are sprayed over it!!
