Whenever I see holes in the leaves I squish all the eggs and baby caterpillars - control is only really important when they're little unless you get fully infested I reckon. It takes a few minutes of inspecting all the outer leaves, but it's still pretty time effective I reckon. Cold weather helps too.

I've been trying to get away with using nothing at all. Most times it works, but occassionally the caterpillars win.
i just using deris dust and have this year tried neem oil, seems good so far .
Very healthy looking and lush Christopher. Not much sign of caterpillar damage - how do you keep them under control?
