Gardening with possums
Hi,
I'm trying to start a new garden and have some resident possums. I'm looking for some easy care, hardy plants that have low appeal to possums. Any ideas? RJ |

RJ I suspect that gardeners are rarely animal or bird lovers. However, I would like to point out that possums are Australian natives and should be allowed their space here. A gardening acquaintance of mine who lives in a very possum populated area, not only has their garden surrounded by a chain wire fence, they also have their compost heap similarly enclosed. It is just the same as keeping chooks or sheep etc. You keep them behind a fence. It is just a case of not letting your potatoes etc wander. Norm |

Its a battle of outsmarting the possums when it comes to food. Some wandering potatoes eh. If we can get them to move fast enough with genetically modified methods we may even outsmart them.. Maybe if we crossed them with wandering jew we could make a start... |
