Title: white fly!
Post by: bajmoe on August 18, 2008, 20:43:18
Just cut some kale, and noticed a Clouds of small white-winged insects which i assume is white fly!, after soaking i have noticed small white spots present on the underside of leaves, which i assume are eggs!
My question is how do i get get rid of the white fly, and is the least affected kale still edible?

And annoy them by frequently disturbing them! Even with a spray, it's nigh impossible to cover the undersides of all leaves in a crowded patch
