When transplanting small vegetable plants into the garden, I cut up my SCOTT® paper towel and toilet paper end rolls into 2 to 3 inch pieces, slip them over the plants and give a little twist into the ground. This will help defeat the cutworm and other base destroying insects. It also gives a visual marker as to where the plants are. As the plants get too big for the cutworm to chop them in half, the cardboard will recycle itself into the soil.
