: : HOW DO YOU SUBDIVIDE HOSTAS PLANTS?
: How do I prevent insects from attacking the leaves. I have put out slug bait but now something is eating the very tips and the leaf sribbles up and eventually the other leaves are effected and the plant dies. I have used Seven wetable and dry also beer in cups what next?

I also tried all those remedies and still had something eating my leaves. Then i noticed some ants around my yard and sprayed it with ant killer and it seems to have solved my problem,(they were eating my trees leaves too) not sure if you noticed ants around your garden they can be bad.
