Yep. Best advice I've heard is after the season clean up all the plants and anything they can hide under around the garden. They will over winter and just come back next year. That and a hands on approach if you catch them earlier enough. Check the underside of the leaves for eggs and pick off/smash and same with any adults/nymphs.I guess it’s back to gas and fire!
I'm glad you put in the part about making a tea with it. I was picturing you walking the garden with a big ol' chaw in your cheek and spitting.I have had good luck with tobacco juice on most bugs. Used to be inexpensive way to deal with most pests. Make tea from a chunk of chewing tobacco and spray it on the plants. Now dawn is much more cost effective. Tobacco has very few pests for a reason.
Rotation of those crops will help tremendously.
