You do realize that gophers are tunnelers right? Not sure how deep you planted that border fence... but chances are the critters will tunnel right under it.

I've heard some people use electronic means to keep the bastards at bay... I don't have any personal experience using them.... but here's a link to the type of thing I'm talking about. The Sonic Molechaser: Electronic Pest Control Pro

hi Florida. welcome. yes, I no. we are holding our breath. so far no other plant looks stressed like that one did. send positive thoughts and energy our way.

Depending on your moral persuasion on the matter, gopher poison 'peanuts' are available at most garden stores. Just drop a couple in the nearest hole and good bye gophers!

good idea. i was bustin up all day yesterday, while we were working on the barrior. I couldn't help making up funny stories involving the gofer and us. the pictures in my head were hilarius. i was having a ball. i was thinking of "Over the hedge" as a good one to watch as well. sounds like a good excuse to have a party.

I went with the sonic device because I don't like the idea of dropping poison in the soil near where the plants are growing. I grow my marijuana indoors... but I have veggies outside in soil and I never use anything in the soil near the plants that could get into the roots and then plant itself.

Just my 2 cents

You can get hot sauce...Franks redhot...mix with water and spray leaves....bottoms only at 1st, the burning mouth will repel them....if needed spray whole leaf...I always start on bottoms 1st.....it just stopped my cat the other day..good luck

*if no good.. poison...just watch out for pets..
