    Before planting I would lay down heavy wire mesh (fine mesh so that the rodents can't get through it) to keep rodents from the root zone. Same goes for a raised bed garden - line the entire bottom of the bed with wire mesh before planting.

    If you're interested, here is additional information on how to protect bulbous plants as well - you may be able to incorporate some of these ideas:

    I had this problem years ago. It was cutworm. I literally went around all my plants and dug around them on a regular basis and would find the nasty, thick, black pests and kill them! I also used soapy water but instead of dawn soap.I used dog, flea, and tick, shampoo with pyrethrins in it, to make my soapy water.

    Gerbera daisies can be mixed in with other plants in the same flower bed. If you are looking for some flower bed design options the following websites have some suggestions:

    A flower that goes to seed will not produce more blooms as the plant's energy has been diverted to seed production instead of new flowers and new growth.

    I am assuming you mean the leaves. Yellow leaves can happen for a number of reasons. When did you last fertilize? Too much nitrogen can eventually cause the plant to yellow and start to die. If you have not fertilized, then underwatering, lack of nutrients or a fungus may be to blame. Increase water a bit, use a balanced fertilizer on the plant and treat it with a fungicide. This should take care of the most common causes of yellowing.

    The fertilizer may have given to much Nitrogen to the plant.
    This will cause lots of lush leaves and few to no flowers.

    You can correct with Phosphorous, Bone Meal is a good source.

    Here are links for you.
