    While it was gross that he did that, this should not cause problems for your vegetables. If you are concerned that they may be larva of a pest, you can treat the soil with neem oil. It is organic and safe for people, pets and beneficial bugs but will stop larva from maturing and they will die.

    It is difficult to keep them out. Nothing you use will work for long. But some things I have found that have worked for awhile were Irish Spring soap placed among the plants, spreading dog hair among the plants and motion sensor lights. This article will have some other suggestions: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/deer/deer-repellents.htm

    Not exactly. Sugar can help the tomato plant grow roots a little better. The sugar (much like in people) acts like a quick energy boost to the plant and can help give a quick shot to help grow roots. More roots means a healthier plant and this means better tasting fruit.

    But, just like people, too much sugar can hurt the plant, so use this trick sparingly.
