Gardening with possums
 

Hi,

I'm trying to get a bit of a garden going and for the first time have to
deal with possums. I'm looking for plants that have low appeal to possums
and that don't require lots of attention or water. Any ideas?

RJ

Firstly what type of plants are you wanting to grow, trees, shrubs or
vegetables?

I don't often suffer possums because I have dogs but my neighbours often
ask to borrow my possum trap so the possums they catch can be introduced
to a local pot

Tell the possums politely that you can do all the gardening by yourself?

Actually, possums make great fertiliser.
Its the only way to garden.

Shoot one and drop it in the hole before planting.
