Hi Kathleen
Some of those sneeky little jokers dont like peppermint oil very much & u
can pop a little under the edges of the pot rims where it dosent wash off so
easy. Don't get it on the plants though & its a bit of a prevention not a
cure.........
I have a hundred or so Bandicoot holes in the garden where they dig for
worms & grubs every night, while the winter pickings are still scarse &
nothing stops them, i work with them & fill the little holes with mulch or
sand for better drainage hehe.........
I was wondering, did u plant directly into seed raising mix or soe on top &
cover with fine gravel or something ?
I recantly planted hundreds of them before i saw they should be on top &
ankered but not covered or they wont grow.

Greetings, all.
I have two pots of Rhodophialia seedlings from the PBS BX, both germinated
nicely, but then the grazing began. These seedlings are highly edible to
something.
Any ideas as to which animals like this so much that they will wiggle
inside 1/2 inch wire mesh to graze? I'm about to create fine mesh sacks for
each pot to keep the munchers out.
