In Summer those little green grubs will gobble up everything. To get rid of them I use a combination of 3 methods. Find them and squish them, spray pyrethrim or dust with Derris dust. To be honest the pyrethrim is the most effective and safest to use. The Derris dust is ugly on my plants and it blows everywhere if it is not completely still.
You have to be vigilant removing the grubs because they will destroy your cabbages and other soft vegetables and flowers.

Having a problem with grubs indicates your growing conditions are not ideal. Increase the health of your soil by adding compost or well rotted manure. It also indicates that you do not have m/any native birds around to pick off any grubs. Make sure there are no cats or dogs around to scare off native birds. And avoid using chemicals of any sort even pyrethrum - it upsets the healthy balance of your garden.
