I need help making up my mind. The problem is cabbage loopers and imported cabbage worms are eating my newly transplanted broccoli.  I also just transplanted cauliflower also. This spring I did not have a single hole in any of my broccoli or cauliflower. It was outside, just as this stuff is this time.  The fall must be different. 

I would like to know what is the best kind of Bt to use?  I know the Bt "K" is the best.  It needs to be able to be ordered online and reasonable priced.  I have ask around and hunted for it locally, but no-one carries it. 

Which is better, Dipel, Thuricide,  or some other type?   As I said before, I will be spraying this on cauliflower, broccoli, probably spinach and lettuce (the last two, if needed)  I have around 150 broccoli, 100 cauliflower, 240 row feet of lettuce and spinach (if it all comes up).

Thanks,

Jay
