What organic can I use on my cabbage for cabbage worms?

Flour. If you can find potato flour that is even better. Dust the leaves w/it or, if you like, put a few tablespoons of it in a quart of warm water and spray it on the leaves. I've used regular flour before also...it basically gums up the cats.
Bt is also a good one. You can get it in dust form (trade name Dipel) or liquid (Thuricide).

Also, and I know ya'll are gonna freak, I often use just cheap talcom powder. I dust the leaves w/it and it seems to just turn the cats off...they don't like the taste of it.
(Works great on eggplants for flea beetles too...you just have to reapply it till the plants get up in size.)
