Fred, thank you for another tidbit of numismatic information about the planchet strips
I actually use hardware cloth and have never had a gopher destroy any of the recreational plants.
I would welcome additional Numismatic Advice from you anytime, perhaps this fall

Never heard of hardware cloth - is that buried a few feet underground to

Yes, I make large circles of hardware cloth with a closed bottom and bury them. Plant the plants inside the circle and your good to go.
Hardware Cloth ...
