Many critters and crawlers will not pass this ring to get to the plant. Ask your family, friends and neighbors to save the plastic pots from what they purchase every spring. - Though not pretty, covering your garden area with newspaper retains moisture and keeps weeds away. Any remaining newspaper tils nicely into soil. Paper from a shredder works well too. - Happy Gardening!
