What do cutworms eat when we're not feeding them :-) -- Al Dykes 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). ~REZ~ |
