We appear to have cabbage white fly on our kale. What is the best approach? Do we harvest and use what we can before we lose it? Also will it affect our PSB which is in the same bed?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Yes. It will affect the PSB. If you knock the plants it probably comes off in clouds. I usually tolerate it, but I'm a fairly laissez faire gardener. It depends whether you want to go the organic or pesticide route.Organic would be prevention with mesh, which is too late and soaps. Pesticide would be a spray of which there are many.

Hi all,
I spray my cabbage with a rich solution of garic,water,and a dash of soap liquid.
The whitefly tend to go pick on someone else,or drop dead.
All the best,
Mark.
