seedsmanspain Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi everyone, I have had a hell of a time with skippy this year. I had my best plant completely enclosed with chook wire and the roos pulled it through the side and demolished it.I have surrounded my remaining girls with enough chook wire to fence off Victoria, fingers crossed.Has anyone had any success deterring roos and wallabies or is the only solution to fence them off like colditz ? ThanksMick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seedsmanspain Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Yeah I wonder if a motion detector light would do the job? When I saw my 5 foot Lemon Pie Fem eaten to the stem overnight shooting seemed less extreme ! TaMick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Try Blu Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Not convinced a light is the way forward.A better fence imo.Starpicket driver is a must. Get the pickets in deepMaybe these guys can help if you are having trouble . https://hireahubby.com.au/. Hahaha, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I discovered that Roos were not the only culprit.....POSSUMS were doing far more damage.Extra fencing surrounded by dead spikey bushes (natural barbed wire) and the problem is fixed !
