If those grit guards fit at the bottom, or towards the bottom, of the bucket, these would be the perfect thing to use at the top of a bucket. From Honeybee Gardens in Tillamook, OR -
Their website is down at the moment. I think they are opening soon and are probably doing site maintenance. These come in sizes for 2.5 gallon or 5 gallon buckets and with either one inch holes or two inch holes. And they come in several colors. I don't show dahlias but I am going to purchase both grit guards and these for transporting dahlias.
