How do I get rid of spring cut worms?
How do I get rid of spring cut worms or something that is cutting off my new spring planting that are about a 1/2 mo. old? The cutting is about level with the ground so you can see where it has been cut.

See if this info helps you out! also you could visit your local garden center or Home Depot type store and show them pictures of the worms and ask what they suggest.
