Tomato Hook Worms! These are nasty critters and will destroy your tomato vines in a night. I use DE around the plant base and lightly dust the leaves. Cabbage Worms... Also, a major pest. For these pests, I dust around the plant base and slightly over the heads of leaves of the cabbages. But because these worms come from flying moth eggs, I also cage the bed with a covering of insect netting. Make sure your netting does NOT touch the cabbage leaves as the moths will lay eggs on top of the netting that is in contact with the leaves and when the eggs hatch, you will still get some worms through the netting. Not as many, but even a few will destroy your cabbage crop.
