| i bought a mint plant but i keep getting lots of tiny green caterpillars which eat the mint faster than it grows. i don't really want to spray it but if i have to, is there anything organic or a natural remedy as i don't like spraying on things which i want to eat. |

| Try glue spray!!! 1 cup of white flour mixed with 1 cup of boiling water. Add 5 or so cups of cold water, strain and spray fairly thickly remembering the underside of the leaves. Can be rinsed off 2 hours later. And don't forget to clean your spray gun. It is glue after all!!! Works on aphids, caterpillars, mites, scale, thrips as well as good bugs like ladybirds. |
