Re possums, I've found growing plenty of other food the possums prefer to eat if the best way to keep them off my vegies. Apparently possums really like Plumbago and also young gum leaves, and I'm lucky to have plenty of gum trees and a huge plumbago which gets well chewed in winter when the gums have less new growth. I also have solar powered flashing fairy lights wound amongst the vegies which seems to help keep the possums away too.
