I wish I could get away with that!

I wish I could grow herbs too, but the f**ckn possums eat them. (Australian Brushtail possums. Not to be toyed with. I've been chased off my verandah by one of the fuckers and the males get to the size of a small dog)

I tried to ward them off with a natural deterrent. Wouldn't hurt them but supposed to make them stay away. Main ingredient is chilli.

Couldn't really figure out why it wasn't working until I brought home a chilli plant absolutely covered in really hot chillies.

The next morning there were no chillies left, the buggers had eaten them!

All my supposed deterrent had been doing was putting salad dressing on everything for them!
