Chili Spray
Result - the chilli spray worked well, however one good dewy morning or a light sprinkle of rain and the the chilli runs off. So this is more of a every 2nd day spray on solution. I sprayed it on anything that had poo on it, Pak Choi, Raddish, Lettuce etc.....Plausible. Ingrediants 4 birdseye chili (homegrown) blended with a tad of water to form a paste, pour boiling water (about 1 cup to chili) steep overnight, strain and pour into a sprayer ($2 shoppy job will do) spray.
I have also found the cold wet nights work well as a animal deterrent, Possums don't like the cold nor the Bandicoots. It appears they make quick work of food gathering on cold/wet nights.
Coffee Grounds
My dad told me about this one, good for snail & slugs. Sprinkle coffee grounds around leafy veg, the snails/slugs crawl over it and die from a caffine induced heart attack. I use this instead of beer. Also it makes good compost.
