There are gopher holes everywhere on the nearby land and gophers love bulbs. I looked at a roll of tight mesh wire to line the bed but a roll is $70.00 and would only fill 3 bed. I noticed these sheets of wire that are used to apply stucco to a wall. They are $5.50 a sheet and two will fill the bottom of a bed and will keep the gophers out. Here is my father holding a sheet before we placed it in the bottom of a bed.
If you make your beds 4x8 - two will fill the bottom perfectly - leaving no room for a gopher to enter from below. If they can get in from the top and start tunneling - you have another problem and hopefully - I don't have to face that.
