Yeah, me too! And have done similar things myself, so I laughed all the harder!

Here, in Kalifornia, wasps will sometimes eat holes through Agribon AGC-15.
They can eat holes through wood siding on a house, so the fabric is not a problem for them.
My fix is to slip nother bag over the damaged one soon as I notice.

Tobacco Terrarium
In early March, I started germination of my tobacco in 8 oz. plastic freezer jars, with the lids closed. As the cotyledons emerged, the jars were vented, by leaving the lid askew, unless the soil seemed a bit dry (but not wet enough to add water). Of the 33 or so jars started, all of them were eventually left resting with lids ajar--except two of them: Machu Picchu and Little Dutch.
Once my starting trays all had good seedlings, the germination cups were completely ignored. I noticed just the other day that some of them still showed a bit of greenery.
So, these closed cups happened to have no mold growing, and happened to have just the right amount of moisture for the system to be self-sustaining. I had accidentally created two tobacco terraria that now contained tiny, six month old tobacco plants. The photos below were taken today.

I'll bet that he's going to stalk cure them.
I guess I should transplant one into a pot for the winter, and see how it turns out.

Some teeny tiny wire and a teeny tiny pipe and take a teeny tiny hit, or wait till next year.
They're both cigar varieties. At least one is a filler type and one is a wrapper type. I may post a video on rolling a nanostogie. Maybe make three, and do a nanoculebra. The hard part will be figuring out how to light it without burning my fingers or my mustache.

Sorry, ne3go. That ant can't be real. It's missing a pair of legs. And I suppose it expects a nano cigar band as well. At least the nanokiln won't use much electricity.

That's why my previous idea for "Ant shoes" didn't go well! I knew i missed something...
We've had 20% chance of rain for the past week. So, I've had rain during 20% of the day every day, usually starting at just about the time that the plants have begun to dry from the previous day's rain. Then heavy overcast for the remainder of each day.
Harvesting is way behind. My FL Sumatra upper leaf will make some strong filler. The Machu Picchu is holding up fairly well--only the lugs have been primed.
The Columbian Garcia (cigar filler) has reached about 6'+, and still no sign of forming buds. I'll have to cross my fingers on that one. It's my last variety that's waiting to be bagged. It's got about 5 weeks to do something. All the other bagged varieties are far enough along that they will not be a problem for making seed.
I plan to stalk harvest the Swarr-Hibshman (filler), should it ever stop raining. At this point, some of the plants show slight yellowing throughout.
Metacomet (wrapper) has exceeded the reach of my hand, when fully extended overhead. The leaf looks promising for wrapper, but not nearly as large as the FL Sumatra or the even larger Timor and Besuki.
The only factor that has kept my hanging leaf from turning to mush is the tin roof on the shed. It allows the shed to warm up quickly during any brief sunshine, and drops the humidity inside. There are 3 fans going in there.
The notable advantage of all the rain is that I've been able to pull up the stalks, roots and all, of any of the plants that have already been stripped clean. Once the soil dries, it's a back breaker.
I always worry that I will run short of wrapper. But at this point of the year (still dependent on leaf from 2013 and earlier), I have plenty of wrapper, while my supply of good filler is rapidly diminishing. I guess that's the result of my tendency to roll rather fat cigars.
