Rudolf,
You can grow the bulbs in plastic pots, above or below the ground.
If kept in the ground, you may want to make additional holes for air exchange
and water drainage. If the pot rim is kept slightly above ground level, it
makes it easier to locate and isolate the bulbs after the foliage dies down
and avoids the danger of slicing any with a digging tool. If you have a bed
of bulbs, you may want to try lining the bottom and sides of the the bed at
planting time with a cage of inexpensive chicken wire.

Is there a way that really works to repel or kill Gophers? I have tried
gas, smoke bombs with no result. I have also tried a sonic mole repeller
but that does not work either. Since I have installed these things they
are still eating up my bulbs. It seams that they like the sound and
every day there are more of them.
Thanks for your help
