yeah, this was great. it took forever to read and i skipped some pages. you really cracked me up in a few places, an example is the post before this one. good luck this yr too. i hope you find a cure for those fuckercockheads or whatever they are. i think whoever suggested the spiders wasnt to far off, biological control? ive seen wasp advertised to controll catterpillars before. it might be worth the search. still dont know what they are but i just googled cutworms, it may not be exactly what you had, but the discuss controling them chemicly and biologicaly. hope it helps. thanks guys.
