white fly!
« on: August 20, 2008, 06:33 »
Just cut some kale, and noticed a Clouds of small white-winged insects which i assume is white fly!, after soaking to remove the white fly!,  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?

HI,  Whitefly are a nuissance on brassicas of all types.

Just spray your leaves with a soapy solution regularly, including the underside and this will help to control the population.

Re eating them, I just rub the leaves in clean water before cooking and they are fine.  I'm still alive aren't I!? :wink:
