I was surprised to find when I got home today that some pest has
already started devouring leaves off select plants in my yard. In
particular, there are quite a few holes in the leaves on my plum tree
and some rooted cuttings of Corkscrew Willows I've got potted.
Anything I can do to get rid of the pests w/o damaging the saplings?

Thanks,

Tom

Dang! I know I really do need that cataract surgery -- I misread the
header as "Pest-Eating Leaves" and I thought I was in gardening heaven!

Just to give y'all fair warning -- after my cataract surgery last summer,
about the only thing I *could* read was my computer screen (3-week period
until new glasses could be fitted), so I'll probably be bombarding this NG
with posts!
