Keeg Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The co-op sells this rick with a hole in it so you can just put the planter in side of it and so nothing can dig it up. Personally, when I had this issue I would just take three medium sized stones and put them in a triangle around the base of the plant. SO unless your eel likes to move stones, you should be good. You also just let the eel take them out, its all good fun for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
