My garden is being ravaged by wallabies and/or kangaroos. Can anyone
suggest a deterrent (excluding slaughter) that would be effective?


Indoor hydroponics?


Re the slaughter aspect a farmer in the middle of NSW (back in the late 70s)
had a barley crop and it had a high fence around it. The roos still got over
it. So he tried the eradication route. He ran out of ammo before the roos
ended. The shooting had no effect as more and more came in from the
surrounding areas to the only green in the district.
