Gophers Damaging Your Plants
in Fruit & veg
Initially when planting trees and vegetables, I did not realize that there is a huge problem of Gophers in my area.
Many of the trees that I planted were completely destroyed as the Gophers ate their roots without any visible signs on top.
To prevent this from happening, I started to make a galvanized steel mesh cage, bury it in the ground, and plant the tree in it. This resolved the problem and the trees are doing well.
Still have issues with squirrels though.

Though it’s sometimes pleasant to find a gofer.
Although, when I was young, a divot was another word for an idiot. “Ya div!”
Possibly derived from the same idea as a clod.
I hope you aren't put off by the wacky British sense of humour
@pansyface- we have a variation on that [although div was also used] which is dawber.
I'll leave you to look it up - Scottish slang
Quite used to the British sense of humor.
