How can I get rid of horned tomatoe worms in my garden ?

I’m growing an Organic Garden and I need ideas to get rid of tomatoe worms .
Do NOT say pick them off by hand please I know that already.

Bt is effective when they are small but not on the big ones. there is a parasitic wasp that lays eggs in the hornworm and it is quickly consumed by the wasp larva from the inside out. If you see a hornworm with what looks like grains of rice all over its’ back it has been parasitized by these wasps and soon enough most of the hornworms in your garden will be too. So if you see a hornworm with rice on it leave it alone.

Otherwise hand picking is the best option. Do this early in the morning and around sunset when the critters are active.

It can be used anywhere, anytime a patio, balcony, fire escape, backyard, greenhouse, or even inside during the cold months. Its innovative design allows for portability, yet also encourages a bountiful harvest. By utilizing the Square Foot Gardening Method, the UrBin Grower allows you to grow endless vegetables in the same manageable container. Take the guesswork out of watering and water in the way nature intended! The UrBin Grower is a self-watering container in which your plants take the water they need out of the visible reservoir. This way, you can see exactly how much or how little water your particular crops desire. This is a healthy, sustainable way to water your plants. As the water is drawn upwards through the soil into your root systems, it delivers essential nutrients to your plants rather than those nutrients being washed away like when you water from above. Simply place your UrBin Grower container on the watering tray and then place the soil separator in the container. The soil separator ensures that your soil is not saturated and you will never experience root rot. In two corners of your container, the soil will dip down into the water reservoir and wick moisture up to your root systems. Eat healthy and more local than ever! With the UrBin Grower s organic soil amendments you never have to worry about getting trace minerals into your diet again. These trace minerals are best transferred into the human body through vegetables grown in soil rich in trace minerals. Simply mix the soil amendments with some good quality garden soil and organic compost, and you have a sustainable soil system that will last for up to 5 years. The UrBin Grower s soil amendments help you to eat healthier year round. The UrBin Grower kit comes with two complete containers, a 16-page instruction manual, an instructional DVD, a set
