So I've set up a flood and drain as temporary solution for various plants, including tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and melons, until their respective individual pots are ready. But the tomatoes outgrew everything else in the Leca so quickly that I now wonder if I should just leave them be and give them a fruiting mix soon or if I can still relocate them? I am worried about the roots not coming out cleanly from between the stones. Maybe I just relocate the smaller plants that do not get enough light now anyway

Hi gardeners,

i have 20 strawberry plants which my toddler enjoys very much picking the fruit from, but recently a gamba (local possum species in my country) made a habbit out of eating it all at night, shitting the lawn and then leaving.

What i tried so far and failed:

-movement sensor light around the strawberries

-putting the strawberries on 1m pvc pipes so it could not climb there

-adding an "animal repellent noise" generator thingy that also acts on movement

-planted garlic around

-encasing the ripening berries in a 3d printed cage. They just chew through it (PETG material)

-removing all branches and plants that give the animal easy access into the yard

-chased it at night once and threw an orange in its direction (not on it, i don't want to hurt it) in hopes it would be scared to come back

Next i will put up a night camera to learn how it climbs up to the plants.

Is there something else i can try? Besides getting a dog? The animals are protected in my country, i can not harm or trap them.

(the poop on the lawn might be from the neighbours cats, not from the gambas. If those cats would put half their energy they put into patroling the garden for whatever they do there into chasing gambas instead that would be much more helpful)

I have a anycubic Kobra 2 neo, and the filament started to come out around the nozzle at some point. It happens to pla and petg. I tried to disassemble it, clean it and putting it all back together, but that didn't solve it. Replacement parts are not available for that printer in my country (Brazil) for a reasonable price. Anything I can do? It leads to those blobs of shattered dreams that rip apart my prints randomly. The nozzle is the original 0.4, I tried to get replacement nozzles twice but both times they were too small, so I gave up on that idea now as well.
