Cut Worms! Arghhhh!

A cut worm claimed one of my seedlings.  :tear:

This is the first time I've run into cut worms that I can remember.
 
Since the damage was done, I started rooting around the area with my trowel, and found this guy...

Let's just say it's now an EX cut worm
 
Up until now, I hadn't found the need to buy diatomaceous earth.  But it's on my shopping list now.
 
 
Don't use diatomaceous earth in your garden or raised beds. Use it in your pots and discard the soil once done. Do not reuse the soil.

It kills your worms and other good bugs and will leave the soil sterile.

Till that soil up and turn it over several times prepping the soil and to kill them before plant out time.
