Plant a marigold next to every plant- gophers hate the smell and will leave your plants alone.

Alternatively there is a product called "critter ridder" which is made from peppers and spices which deters most ground mamals. You do need to reapply after each rain though.

Of course the old chicken wire trick around the base of each plant works well, but is alot of work if you have hundreds out.....

get some Gopher Getter at Home Depot. Get Stick or something Pointy and poke the area were the dirt comes up find tunnel path, pour the Gopher getter in.. but if you are next to a hill areas you cant get rid of them, just try to keep up and do your best.hope this helps ya.
