Vegetable Gardening : How to Keep Caterpillars Away from Vegetable Gardens

There are a couple of choices you can use. One option is to use insecticidal soap, which you can mix with water and spray on your plants to repel the critters. Another option is to create a barrier by using a fabric row cover over your plants. This keeps insects from landing and laying their eggs on the plants. Additionally, starting early with a good root system and healthy plant can help deter bugs and caterpillars from attacking your produce.
