Digger's Wire Gopher Baskets
Digger's "Root Guard" Wire Gopher Baskets (Quart Size)
Makes gardening among wild burrowing creatures a breeze! You will no longer fear the heartbreaking subterranean disappearance of freshly transplanted starts from your garden!
This Quart Sized basket is easy to use and specially designed to protect the roots of small plants. The 1/2 inch hexagonal wire mesh is vinyl-coated for durability, yet it’s simple to form into shape and easy on the hands. They are specifically designed to create a barrier that prevents gophers from accessing the root ball of your plants. Constructed from strong, double galvanized steel wire with weatherproof vinyl coating, they are resistant to the tunneling and chewing efforts of gophers. By enclosing the root ball in a protective plant basket, the gopher’s ability to damage or destroy your plants is significantly inhibited.
Use this basket when transplanting small plants, such as annuals, border plants and herbs from 4" to 1 gallon pots. Protecting your small start plants from the destructive habits of underground pests- like gophers, moles, voles, badgers, or any other root munchers- is essential for maintaining a healthy and thriving garden landscape. Digger’s Root Guard gopher baskets offer a reliable and effective solution to this persistent problem, providing numerous benefits that safeguard your investment in the plants and landscaping.
Using gopher wire baskets is an eco-friendly pest control method that avoids the use of harmful chemicals or poisons. This approach protects the surrounding environment, including beneficial soil organisms, pets, and other wildlife, while keeping ground burrowers at bay and avoiding more deadly methods. Gardeners can enjoy a pest-free landscape without compromising ecological balance.
The most common secondary use we can recommend is- flipping the basket over and using it as a cloche for above-ground predation from birds and other wildlife as well!... Also reusable!!
