Unforch the long grass is right next to the tiny area I have for my pots so they’d be back to munching in five. I don’t use poisons so chalk, eggshells, beer and the like would frequently be rained away and require constant replenishment

This is why I didn’t deliberately plant veg again

Edit: fwiw I generally aim for them to land on grass in the neighbours yard (the ones whose invasive creeping grass took over my meagre portion). I don’t deliberately hurt them
