Cut worms have to bend themselves aroun a plant to cut it so maybe 3/8 of an
inch or so in diameter. they feed mostly on the wild stuff, numbers are higher
when sod or weeds overwinter.

I cut the bottoms out of large coffee cans and put around the
plant, pushing about 1/3 into the soil. Works like a charm and
watering is easy - just fill the can.

Any sort of plastic jug or jar works well too. Here it's not cutworms
that slice stuff off at the roots, it's mice and kangaroo rats (which
get thru the rabbit fence).
