Stop gophers from damaging roots of plants with this uniquely devised basket shaped barrier.

Root Guard Gopher Baskets are designed with hexagonal openings that are smaller than regular chicken wire.

  • The Mini Baskets are a ½" mesh
  • The larger baskets are of ¾" mesh
. This smaller size mesh will allow for root growth while inhibiting gophers from making meals out of the most important parts of your plant, like fleshy roots and the plant crown. When selecting the proper size for your plants, choose a basket that is one size larger than the plants' root ball to allow for plant growth.

To deter gophers from chewing through the basket, these baskets are made from 20 gauge wire, stronger then the wire used in typical aviary mesh wire. The final component that makes these baskets a great option is that they are galvanized after weaving to help eliminate rust to make sure they last for years. These baskets are easily re-folded for storage and can be reused. In addition, they make transplanting easy!

Basket Dimensions:

  • Mini Basket is 4" diameter
  • 1 Gallon is 8" diameter 
  • 3 Gallon is 10" diameter
  • 5 Gallon is 12"diameter

This Product Controls These Pests or Diseases: This product works as an underground mechanical control for Gophers & Moles.

  • Pull sides apart at the green top opening and flatten out the bottom fold. Then, bend the side seams flat against the bottom and round out the sides.
  • Once shaped correctly, place the basket in a pre-dug hole.
  • There is a 3" green strip at the top to indicate how deep to place the basket. Leave the green edge exposed to help deter above ground feeding.
  • Place plant in the basket, fill hole with soil, and water as usual.

Also available: Root Guard Gopher Wire Rolls for lawns, gardens and planters.

I cannot yet do a review because I will not be planting bulbs until the fall. It is my expectation that the baskets will work well, though. How could they not?

Exactly what I needed

Ready to plant my bulbs and not provide lunch for gophers. Easy to set up. Well made.

Tomatoes now protected.

The 5 gallon baskets are hard to find so I am happy to get these four. But, the overall width is barely big enough around for transplanting artichokes here in California

Just what the doctor ordered!

My garden is plagued with gophers and moles that have destroyed so many of my plants. In the past I have had to fabricate the wire baskets from rolls of wire netting but now with your easy-to-shape baskets, I am spared that laborious chore.
