Thrips
I have white spots on almost EVERY plant it’s out of control and because most of them are edible I don’t want to put chemicals on them. How can I make them leave for good

White spots may be mealy bugs not thrips, do you want to post a picture? A spray bottle filled with half soapy water and half rubbing alcohol would likely help kill any pests and possible be food safe after rinsing off? Depending on what soap you are using. Dish soap would work fine, and only a little squirt of soap in the spray bottle is needed. AND do not spray in direct or full sun. If these are outdoor plants spray in the evening as the sun is going down. You may want to test it out on one plant and check it the following day to make sure that the plant is OK once the sun comes back up and starts blasting the plant. If it causes any issues, you could even spray the plants down and rinse them in the morning before the sun comes up and hits your garden, assuming that this is an outdoor vegetable garden. 🪴
I threw away the damaged leaves and covered the soil in plastic to suffocate them
