I wanted to test my garden compost against commercial potting soil, so I
started a tray of each, making soil blocks and sprouting basil in my basement
seed room. They sprouted fine, and had just begun to develop their first true
leaves, when, over the course of several days, almost every one was clipped
off. I explored in the trays, and found one earthworm (unlikely) and one sow
bug (more likely) hiding between the blocks. I dispatched the sow bug. This
morning, more damage, and no sign of another sow bug. Of course I may have
missed it, but is there anything else that might be doing this? And will
diatomaceous earth help prevent this next time?
