We have aphids or other bugs on our turnip and cabbage, how can we get rid of them?

0 3
We have a problem withe both our cabbage and turnip plants.  We haven't seen any bugs, but the leaves are full of holes and they are not really a good shade of green.  Is there an insecticide in Canada that we can use?

Aphids can be gotten rid of by blasting water from a hose on the plant.  You have to do daily as new aphids are born every day.  Aphids come in a variety of colors-green, brown, and black are probably most common.

safest home made thing to do is 2 tablespoons dawn & 1 quart of tap water and spray after the sun goes down & the plants cool off..........spray again after it rains.  They will go some place else.
