When you plant fall vegetables, the weather may be cooler but the cutworms are still out in full force. Protect your seedlings with "collars" made of discard tuna cans, says show host Kim Haworth (figure A). Here's how: - Unpot the seedling, and loosen its roots with your fingers..
- Plant seedling in the soil.
- Cut the bottom from a clean, empty tuna can.
- Nestle the can "collar" around the plant and work it part of the way into the soil to keep cutworms from getting to the plants.
