I was cleaning out the garage today and found a couple extra grill screens I bought on clearance last fall. If you have bulbs in containers these will keep the squirrels out during the fall and winter. I just anchor them with garden pins, small stakes or even pieces of twigs. Thirteen inches round, with a slight cup to the edge, they also come in a rectangular shape that I use directly on garden areas.
Only 99 cents @ regular price, too.

No tma, I don't bury them. Just anchor them on top of the pot to keep them from digging inside it. On the ground, I anchor them flat over winter, then raise them up a few inches when I see signs of green shoots. By the time the tulips/blubs are a couple of inches tall I remove the screen and they're on their own. Mainly it's just protection from that constant digging the squirrels do in the fall and winter.
