Do possums eat mint??? Stripped bare overnight😒

Wow !! - some serious stripping ! #lisebee

A friend of mine has raised vege beds and the wallabies eat everything in sight , by jumping up. The only positive is that they fertilise whilst they are grazing!!!lol.This is one problem the UK taggers haven't got!!!

Possums eat many things! Pays to grow some sacrificial crops... Possums have their regular patterns of movement. I'd divide this mint and put it in a part of the garden they don't visit. And hope the grasshoppers don't find it. 😉

@tessafox-veling there are a few colonies of feral wallabies in the UK though I've not heard of them being garden pests.

Thanks everyone! @brightcolours I realise I relocated this plant right into the possums nightly path!!! 😢

@whitesusan I couldn't believe my eyes this morning! It happened overnight!

Aaron, Australia has feral rabbits, foxes, sparrows, deer, pigs, goats, hares etc etc that all cause problems, mainly to farmland. Around here we've got hares and rabbits that cause problems in the gardens plus foxes that kill chooks (hens). As well as our own wildlife that likes to nibble on greener pastures...!! @tiggrx

@lisebee my mint not in the possums path, but they enjoy parsley for a fresh breath..lol

Love it @jolene !!
