My grandmother always put little paper collars around the base of her
tomato plants "to stop the cutworms from getting them".  She used to
slice things like milk cartons into 3 or so inch wide cylinders and slip
them over the seedlings and anchor them into the dirt.  Did it work?  I
have no idea, but she always did it, so I guess it did.  I wonder if you
have to use somethinmg that's waxed, i.e., styrofoam cups maybe won't do.
