Spraying for freedom… the natural way.
My previous attempt at using a spray to deter our resident possums was reasonably successful. They didn’t eat the sacrificial plants, though there was a pot knocked off a chair, which suggested they were wandering around the plants a bit.
However, we were using a commercial, non-organic spray, which I didn’t like very much at all. So, after all the rain that would have washed away the last spray, I decided on a new approach. My dad, surprisingly, was the one who gave my my latest solution - vinegar. Now, I like this because it’s cheap, not harmful to the environment, and I don’t have to muck around with preparation like I would with a chilli or garlic spray.
So, I loaded the day-glo pink spray bottle up, and went to work. That was a few days ago now, and so far (cross your fingers for me!) there has been nada possum action.
Let’s hope this trend continues!
