Supposedly sprinking corn meal around the plants will protect them from cutworms. The idea is that the cutworms eat the cornmeal and not the tomato plant. They can't digest it, so it kills them. I don't know if it's true or not, but I've read it a number of times online. I've never really had a problem with cutworms in my garden. If anything gets my young tomato plants, it tends to be slugs.
