How can I keep cut worms away from my tomato plants?

I don't have a problem with them yet, I just want to be prepared so that I don't have a problem with them, any suggestions?

How can I keep cut worms away from my tomato plants?
Spray the roots with bleach and water.
Reply:Sevin Dust ...it takes care of other things too ! You can dust your dog for fleas with it and if you buy the 10% or stronger, you can use it for killing ants.
Reply:Wrap the base of the tomato seedling with aluminum foil. Sounds weird but it works.
Reply:Sevin dust kills many plant insects. If you want to protect without a chemical, cut the bottom out of a styrofoam cup and place it over the roots before planting and let it extend about 1/2" above the ground. If already planted, slit it up the side and wrap around the stem the same way but bury most of the cup.
Reply:its called you pick them out you lazy lil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:If you burn wood for heat,you can use the ashes.Just sprinkle them around the tomato plant.
Reply:The best control for these critters is an application of thiodan or Sevin dust around the plant stem where it is growing out of the ground
Reply:Put some kind of a paper sleeve around the stem when you plant them. I always use as much as I can when I transplant. You will have a better root system and healther plants if you do. tear a piece of Newspaper, place it around the stem of the tomato after it has been planted. Hold it together with a piece of scotch tape, I use the paper tape my self.
