## Description

desertcart.com : RootGuardTM Digger’s 5-Gallon Root Guard Speed Baskets for Plants, Control Gopher for Efficient Planting (Pack of 2) : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: These are the most intelligent gopher-proofing bags available - easy to use, sturdy, foolproof! - These are great gopher protection for smaller potted plants. They are super easy to slip over the root ball like a little chain-mail sock after first roughing it up a bit if it is at all root-bound, then pulling it up enough to cover the root ball, leaving enough 'sock' to roll down for an above-ground gopher barrier. There are times when heavier gopher cages are needed, especially for larger bare-root trees, but these are my go-to choice now when they can be used. I just planted 11 little elderberry trees out in my pasture and have another 8 to put in the ground, all done, or to be done, with these metal bags/baskets/socks. I will buy them again in a heartbeat.
Review: Hail protection too! Put it over your plant. - These are great for garden plant hail protection! The 5 gallon slips over the top of a tomato cage perfectly for protection. I would not have a vegetable garden in Colorado Springs if I can't protect from hail. This is so much easier and better than hail cloth. The hoop built into this one makes it even better, and I can reuse season after season.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the dimensions of the basket when fully opened -- NOT the package?**
A: These are rough dimensions as the baskets are flexible-The top of the basket diameter is 12” -the baskets are 14” deep and the bottom ring is 8” in diameter.

**Q: How big are the mesh holes?**
A: Hello,
It is more of mesh than a wire like poultry wire. The holes are very small when expanded - maybe a 1/4” minus?

**Q: Can these be used with trees?**
A: For trees, such as palms and ferns you will need a 15-gallon Root GuardTM Speed Basket or Heavy Duty Root GuardTM Basket.

**Q: Is the mesh thick enough to stop rats?**
A: The mesh is knitted stainless steel and the holes are approximately 1/4"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These root guards work!
*by P***N on October 24, 2025*

My yard backs up to an open field so lots of underground critters consider my yard and flower beds part of their territory! I planted 4 Rose of Sharon plants in August 2025 using these root guards. And all 4 are still healthy and thriving in October. So far these guards work to deter the pesky unwanted dirt movers!
