Default Cutworms

When planting my seedlings I place them inside 1/2 of the cardboard
centre of a toilette paper roll which is immersed about 1 inch into
the soi;. It creates a barrier. Does this make sense?

Another cheap way to make a collar for cutworms is to save the short
sawed-off ends when you're doing plumbing projects. Save the ABS/PVC
or whatever, plastic pipe cutoffs. Or go to the hardware store and buy
10' of 3" or 4" ABS pipe, cut it up and you have collars for the rest of
your life.

I use coffee cans. The large ones. Push into the soil about 1/3 of the
way. I've never had a cutworm problem on tomatoes.
