outdoor grow- have had a problem with some sort of worm or larvae eating my stalks- the pest enter the stalk at ground level and bore their way upward- have had several plants attacked in the last two weeks- they are hollow at leat 3 inches up from ground level- I have put 7dust on and around stalk base and supported stalk by wrapping paper tape around the wound- i have seen this before many years ago- I feel that since there has been NO RAIN here for 5 weeks all bugs have been attracted to my garden which is watered regularly- anyone had this problem and if so how to overcome it
