Something is eating my tomato stems-containers
Please help. This is my second year growing in home made earth box containers. This year I noticed that something is eating the main stems of my tomato plants. Since they are in containers, where do I put the bug killer and what do I use. Thanks!

Perhaps this thread belongs in the "Common Garden Diseases
and Pests" forum? A picture might help people guess what the problem is. (I do not know what pests in Kansas might crawl up the sides of a container and chew on plant stems. What kind of soil is in the containers? Bagged potting mix? Out here, in the ground, I might guess cutworms. Are there little holes in the stems, like from borers of some kind, or does it look like just random chewing?)
