We have no such thing as that hornworm but I do find a little plastic barrier slows some creatures down. Especially the darn birds that like to break the stems. One can then use bait that's out of reach of animals too. I use coffee cans half buried around my tomatoes. Seems to stop both hornworms and cutworms, and I suspect slugs as well. Also handy for watering - just fill the can :-). Doesn't the can constrain the roots ? They can't expand horizontally until they get below the edge of the can. -- Al Dykes ----------- adykes at p a n i x . c o m |
