Claim 2:
3. The sprinkler shield of claim 2, wherein, in use:
the first end of the stalk is disposed in earth proximate the sprinkler head and the stalk extends vertically therefrom;
in the first substantially horizontal position, the at least one deflector is held by the spring at an angle of approximately 90 degrees relative to the substantially vertically oriented stalk;
whereby actuation of the separate in-ground sprinkler head causes the spring to compress, and the at least one deflector to move upwardly against the compressed spring, from the first position to the second substantially vertical position wherein the at least one deflector is disposed in an upright orientation; and
whereby deactivation of the sprinkler head enables the spring to return the at least one deflector to the first position.
