Hello newsgroup,
Can someone tell me if there is a natural ingredient to use to kill cut
worms?We seem to have alot of cut worms this year.
Please reply back to this newsgroup.

Thank You

[...] I did the old empty toilet
paper roll cardboard sleeve around the seedling thing this year, looks kinda
podunk but little or no cutoff transplants, so it may just actually work.
Cutworms go for weak, stressed plants and when you think about it, they
serve a purpose in the overall scheme of things. Flocks of starlings that
'stab' a lawn will also do the job.


If you have little cut-off pieces of plastic (ABS, PVC) pipe from plumbing
projects,
they make good cutworm collars, too.
