Saving New PLants from Cutworms

Friday, July 31, 2009


The usual method of foiling cutworms;

place a bottomless tin can OR plastic cup around young plants
(this guards only against worms outside the barrier)

A better control method;

Wrap the stem of the seedling with aluminum foil; before planting.
Plant with 2 inches of foil below the soil surface and 2 inches above.
Be sure the foil is loose so the plant is allowed to grow.

Good Gardening
