They're cute green little guys, but it's not so cute when they take my lettuce to the ground. At first it was five fat little suckers, but I picked more than 50 little babies off the next time I checked. Thankfully, my lettuce has recovered quite beautifully, but what can I do organically to keep the moths from trying to reproduce on my lettuce? Quote \| Reply \| Report
