My plants are being totally ate by some sort of caterpillars i keep squishing then whenever i see em but any advice on how to get rid of them?

Thanks

Hi pacey

My mother in law swears by a mixture of tepid water and fairy liquid. Keep squishing away and then spray your sprout plants with this mixture and you should get results.

Dont worry about the sprouts being small - they are notoriously long developers!
