How can I effectively control cabbage bugs in my garden to protect my cabbage plants?

To effectively control cabbage bugs in your garden and protect your cabbage plants, you can use natural methods like handpicking the bugs off the plants, applying insecticidal soap or neem oil, planting companion plants like marigolds or mint, and using row covers to prevent the bugs from reaching the plants. Regularly inspecting your plants and removing any eggs or bugs you find can also help keep the infestation under control.
