The Femitu set includes 48 cylindrical root guard baskets, each sized for 1-gallon plantings, made from 304 stainless steel mesh to resist rust and hold shape season after season. Lightweight and reusable, they give mechanical protection without blocking drainage or aeration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these baskets keep roots safe without harming plant growth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe baskets are built from a dense, welded stainless-steel mesh that stops small burrowing animals from chewing or tunneling through while still permitting soil, water and fertilizer to circulate. The bottom is welded for extra strength so pests cannot enter from below. Because the mesh is rigid yet flexible, roots can grow naturally inside the cylinder without becoming constricted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel mesh resists corrosion and lasts outdoors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded base prevents entry from beneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePerforated sides maintain drainage and nutrient flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible enough for planting, rigid enough for protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size plants and uses are best for the 1-gallon Femitu baskets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach basket measures approximately 9 by 10 inches, a common size suited to small potted plants, seedlings, bulb plants and many vegetables.
