Awww, what an adorable (and tireless, vigilant, talented) pest patrol you have out yonder! 😍🥳🤙🏼

edit: I wonder if there's a plant that they especially don't like, so that planting it around the perimeter'd discourage them from crossing that boundary —similar to tobacco vs deer, etc. 🤓🤞🏼

I heard these are great eating. Perhaps you could plant a green fodder crop and be growing protein instead.

Unfortunately for me I only have endangered possums in my area so that's not an option until they come off the list.

Last time I tried snow peas they (and the golden gem pumpkin plants) were eaten down to stumps 😩

I have cutworms, slaters, earwigs, slugs, snails, rats and possums here that do this, it's a pain but I find my biggest losses are to the snails and slugs due to the possums and rats being more focused on my fruit trees.

I also rotate my chickens and ducks through beds to keep the insects and slugs/snails under control.
