Use something like ecover, and wash your veg before you eat it - or wait till after a rain shower before picking it - It worked on the greenfly on my broccoli :cheers:

I've found that soapy/salty water, might put the buggers off, but it won,t get rid of 'em. Either way it shouldn't impair the flavour of the veg.
it's either one or the other, or neither of the two.
