When I "Abate" one pest, he is replaced by another. I have only done the seedling thing really just this year. I suspected I might have a problem, just did not anticipate the extent of it. It seems the critters are not really after the plants, they are after the earth worms and grubs I suppose. I guess that becomes obvious when the plants are all found lying there on the ground. I did manage to save most of the plants, but it did cause a major culling much earlier than I was prepared for.
