i have tried to grow basil numerous times and failed only to discover that earwigs are eating the leaves and killing the plants. How do u stop them?

Try growing it in a pot. Keep the plant clear of touching anything else. Stand the pot on a saucer filled with water. Do not allow the pot to sit in the water though. Fill the saucer with stones to keep pot clear of the water.
