Topic: "Non-Chemical Pest Management"

Found this by chance yesterday - http://oisat.org/; the biggest library of witches' brews and wizards' potions I've seen. 

Some are truly foul sounding - and I feel a bit uneasy that there's lots of recipes but little information on how effective they might be?    Not that I would dream of suggesting that any of them should be used, of course ;).

How long are your arms?  ;)

Interesting.
But doesn't list cabbage whitefly!!

[gavin]

Yes it does - well, sort of! ;)  - on http://oisat.org/pests/insect_pests/soft_bodied/whitefly.html (and look at the left hand menu for more info - not the most intuitive layout!)

All best - Gavin
