My brother asked about wrapping fabric around the base? I have an old garden hose that I could cut up...hmm
What would you use to protect so many tomato plants that are planted in a regular garden (Not a raised one, or in a greenhouse, etc.)? |
Do you have lots of organic matter in your soil (particularly any that isn't decomposed, yet)? That seems to attract cutworms or perhaps something else that does the same sort of damage.
