CULT; Something eating rhizomes


Hi Everybody,

Would someone please help me decide what is eating my newly planted 
rhizomes. Something just chews an open spot on the top of the rhizome 
or immediately just under it and then deep into the rhizome.  Could 
this be borers or maybe voles as I have a real mole problem.  I don't 
know what borer damage looks like.  I know it is the season for them. 

Another thing please, when is the proper time for transplanting 
seedlings.  Do you wait for a complete set of leaves or is it better 
to move them as soon as they come up or shortly after.  I seem to 
lose quite a few in transplanting.  I moved some (because I needed 
the space)that germinated this past spring, they were maybe 2 - 3 - 4 
inches high.  I moved them in early August and lost about 1/3 of 
them.  Same thing happened last year.  I'm doing something wrong. Any 
help is greatly appreciated.

Dean Gray,

Mississippi and Meramec rivers.
