Root Guard Gopher Basket Mini (6/pk)
Stop the Gopher Destruction!
The Root Guard Gopher Basket Mini (6/pk) offers a humane and highly effective way to shield small plants or bulbs from destructive gopher activity. Made from vinyl-coated 1/2" hex mesh, these durable baskets are far superior to chicken or aviary wire when it comes to long-lasting gopher resistance.
To use, simply place a basket in the planting hole with a portion of the mesh above soil level—this discourages gophers from entering overland. Nestle your plant inside, backfill with soil, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your roots are protected.
Key features:
- Constructed from sturdy vinyl-coated 1/2" hex mesh for durability and weather resistance.
- Ideal for safeguarding bulbs, starter plants, and small root systems.
- Each basket opens to 4" diameter x 5" depth—perfect for raised beds and tight spaces.

Didn't know I had a gopher problem until I did! Get all the sizes. This size super handy for the bulbs that you want to plant, but the gophers want to eat. Looking at you Tulips.
I have fallen in love with dahlias, but need a way to protect the tubers from all the little critters. These baskets are the perfect size and will make it easy to dig the tubers in the fall and store them in my basement.
Easy to use and room for the roots to grow.
These things work! I've tried all kinds of gopher control and this is the only one that works consistently. I use the 4" gopher baskets to plant nearly all my vegetables. I buy a lot of them. The baskets don't need to protect the whole root growth area; it just needs to prevent the gopher from damaging the base of the plant and main roots. I know the gophers are just as busy in the garden as before because I see holes dug all around the gopher basket but I haven't lost any plants.
As expected but could be a little larger.
