G'Day Folks. Had an unwanted visitor / pest turn up to feast on the Broccoli in the Aquaponics this week. This video looks at how we delt with the situation and what we'll be growing more of in the future to deter further raids by these furry visitors in the new Aquaponics systems. Hope you enjoy this video update & your own gardens are booming. Cheers all. ? ?? Rob P.S. I know technically speaking rats are as clean as their environments & aren't necessarily "dirty". ?

Beneficial insects & critters are always a bonus to have around the veggie patch & food growing systems.. It may take a while for them to build up in number but once they do they become an integral part of your natural growing methods.. We have purchased Lacewing larvae from "Bugs for Bugs" to release in the hoop house.. They stock a wide range of beneficial insects. & are very helpful folks.. http://www.bugsforbugs.com.au/ "Green lacewing".
