My kale went from sad to super green in just two weeks

I had a patch of curly kale that looked pale and full of holes, probably from cabbage worms. I read about using a simple soap spray, so I mixed a tablespoon of Dr. Bronner's castile soap in a gallon of water and sprayed it every other day. The new leaves that grew in after that are dark green and perfect! Has anyone else had luck with this method for other bugs?

That's awesome to hear your kale bounced back so well. I've had the same problem with little green worms eating my plants. The soap spray trick works for aphids on my pepper plants too, but you have to be really consistent with it. What kind of soap did you use, just the plain unscented kind?

I used to think soap was useless until my kale survived, @henderson.oscar.
