RE: Cut worm experimental warfare

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi Sheryl,  I will see what I can do about making a formal report...right
now everything is protected except the corn, potatoes and radish(I don't
like radish I only use them to mark the carrot rows)though the cut worms do
like radish...with the toothpicks I have placed them right along side the
stem some with two, some three and others four..so far so good...I did loose
one with popsicle sticks but I don't think the sticks were close enough to
the stem..I haven't checked this morning yet....Sharon in Ontario
