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.
