I can't stand the little Tommy toe tomatoes. I love s good tomato sandwich.
For larger tomatoes plant only Celebrity. They are very disease resistant and heat tolerant. One of the best varieties you can plant. For smaller tomatoes, plant the Sweet 100 variety. They are somewhat larger than the tommy-toes and taste like a regular tomatoe. Tommy-toes(cherry) are to little and sour tasting for my preference.
Also, when setting out your plants, place a little garden dust around the base of the plants, this will prevent any nematode(cutworm) damage. Don't get any on the leaves, just around the base of the plant. To spray you garden for pests, buy some Permethrin 10 from Tractor Supply. Mix 3 teaspoons of Permethrin 10 per gallon of water. Spray as often as needed, won't harm humans or pets. This will take care of your insect problems. You can wash/rinse off vegetables and eat them the next day.

Nematodes and cutworms aren't the same thing.

Nevermind that the bottle you linked and the label says not to apply to crops used for food.
There's a reason pesticides have labels on them.
