Now we have a rather bad pest problem and not the buggy kind. I live in an area where possum's and bandicoots rule supreme at night. So all my beds are surrounded by chicken wire. I simply role it around and wedge in with small wooden stakes, it is good an floppy so if they do try and climb it, well they will fall flat on there bums.

Since my veggies are all protected the possum's and bandicoots have decided to dig up our lawn, my cactus patch and the grasses we have planted. Oh and the rain forest garden we have set up.

As annoying as this is, constantly plugging up the holes they leave behind and ridding the yard of the smell of their pee, this tells me we have turned the gardens around from hard compacted, weed infested grass to almost weed free grass that looks very happy & the old soil to viable, worm enriched soils.

I do wish they would eat else where though.
