ABSTRACT:
A bulb and root protection system for allowing bulbs and rooted plants to be planted in the ground and protected from small burrowing animals. A protection cage has a top edge, and encloses a volume. The protection cage is open at the top edge. The protection cage is placed in the soil up to the top edge wherein bulbs or rooted plants are placed inside an interior volume of the protection cage, and the protection cage is filled with soil. Small animals are prevented from reaching the bulb or planted roots by the protection cage, but roots growing from the bulb or plants can grow and penetrate the mesh of the protection cage. The bulb and plant root protection system is additionally provided with a flexible liner provided within the interior volume. A dual purpose stabilizing strut is also provided with the plant root and bulb protection system, the strut comprising an anchor portion and a water dispensing portion for dispensing water below the surface of the ground to the plants roots or the bulb.
