Homeowner Forum / Lawn and Garden / July 2008Gardening with possums
Hi, I'm trying to get a bit of a garden going and for the first time have to deal with possums. I'm looking for plants that have low appeal to possums and that don't require lots of attention or water. Any ideas?

I don't often suffer possums because I have dogs but my neighbours often ask to borrow my possum trap so the possums they catch can be introduced to a local park.

Get a dog, make sure he cant get into the garden, and see hints on gardening with dogs.(grin) > >> I'm trying to get a bit of a garden going and for the first time have to >> deal with possums.

It might be big garden! I hope they've got enough possums! |
