Garden Plants Being Eaten

Question

I’m on my 3rd Basil plant. Something is eating them. They’re after the leaves on my tomato plants too. It may be earwigs. I do not have tomato worms or snails. What could it be, and what can I do?

Answer 1

Slugs are the normal culprit for this. They can literally devour plants overnight and they love basil. This article will help:
