here are the 2 battling 1493s with their protective csm rings i made by cutting the tops of poly pots off and inserting them down an inch past intital root development level for prevention against lateral migration of csms. also you can see the styrofome balls in the high end potting soil that had the merit granules, bonide "eight" granules, and diatomaceous earth incorporated into it and was placed in holes so this mix is both under the plant and backfilled around it. my patch soil was treated the same way in these holes and around the plants before the mix and transplants went in too. and the soaking of warrior t around the plants about 8 to 10 inches away was the final protective step. also you can see slug and cutworm granules around the plants as well. so far so good for these plants that began their soaking and sowing on 4-19.
