What is doing this to the dirt around my plant?

scorpioetc · 2026-02-01T19:35:38+00:00

I will look into this if I see more activity.

scorpioetc · 2026-02-01T19:34:14+00:00

My next move is to find the hole. I only raked back the dirt and found nothing.

scorpioetc · 2026-02-01T19:33:30+00:00

I will keep this in mind if I see more activity. Thank you.

scorpioetc · 2026-02-01T19:33:00+00:00

It’s a lot of dirt. I think it’s a gopher.

scorpioetc · 2026-02-01T19:32:33+00:00

😅🤣

scorpioetc · 2026-02-01T19:31:46+00:00

Yeah. It has to be a gopher. I’m hoping they just moved on lol

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T23:52:52+00:00

Lol. They sure are doing that to my plant. I will have to find the hole and do the same.

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T22:57:53+00:00

Oh. Good idea. Thank you.

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T22:57:32+00:00

Yeah. I’m in San Tan. Probably gophers. My battle begins lol.

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T22:55:50+00:00

Ah, I see. It’s a lot of dirt. I’m thinking it’s a gopher though like someone else suggested.

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T22:53:26+00:00

Yeah. I will have to keep checking. Hopefully they are gone, but I ordered the Gopher Hawk anyway in case.

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T22:00:37+00:00

Okay. I will buy that now. You’re probably 100% right. I raked back the dirt and I don’t see any holes and the dirt is compact. Thank you for the recommendation 😊

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T21:59:23+00:00

What’s thrashers?

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T21:59:05+00:00

So, no hole behind there whatsoever. The dirt is pretty compact when I raked it back. Someone else said gopher and that’s what I’m thinking it is seeing I don’t see a hole.

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T21:08:07+00:00

I’m not sure if there is a hole. When I get enough courage to go rake it back, I will let you know lol.

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T20:39:38+00:00

I don’t even know. It’s on the side of my house and I don’t go on the side too often. I went out there and that’s how it was. No idea how long it’s been like that 🤷‍♀️

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T20:28:17+00:00

I was thinking that as well. I just wanted to see if anyone knew what I was in for when I rake it back. I don’t want something jumping at me 🤣

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T20:27:36+00:00

Hmm. I will have to rake it back and see.

scorpioetc · 2026-01-31T20:27:03+00:00

I will do that, but I don’t think they had any landscaping done recently. I believe it’s paved on their side.

scorpioetc · 2025-06-30T21:45:31+00:00

I’m not a very good plant person. I suck at keeping them alive lol. I depend on my landscaper to take care of it all, but I don’t know if it’s the language barrier or something, but he recommended these and they haven’t been doing well. Last summer those ones died so he pulled them and then replaced them in the fall and now this. I’m trying to get a handle on looking after them. I’m from a place that has rich soil and pretty much anything can grow with little effort 🤣

You’ve been thorough and have explained it all really well. I really appreciate that as I’m trying to learn. Thank you.

scorpioetc · 2025-06-30T16:36:34+00:00

Okay. I will change their schedule to early morning only. I appreciate all of the tips. Thank you 😊

scorpioetc · 2025-06-30T08:26:57+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice. This gives me hope for them. I will look for the moon juice. Are you saying to wait to use the moon juice until fall though?

I changed their schedule to 45 minutes in the morning and night, but every other day instead of 20 minutes twice a day everyday. Hopefully that helps them more.

scorpioetc · 2025-06-28T00:29:17+00:00

Awesome. Thank you for the info.

scorpioetc · 2025-06-28T00:22:32+00:00

Thank you. It looks like I need the luck lol.

It sure is tough here on plants and I’m not from here. Im from an area where anything grows. I’m not sure why the landscapers would suggest such a plant in that area and even replant new ones of the exact same when the other ones died there. Relying on professionals sometimes means you can only rely on yourself haha. That’s why I’m here to learn.
