Looking advice on a deterrent for blue tongue lizard climbing up tomato plants and eating the fruit
Well here's an odd request ! In 20 years of GardensOnline we have never heard of Blue tongue Lizards eating tomatoes. We didn't even know they liked them ! So what to do? Well we can find no advice anywhere about this so common sense has to kick in, along with some care for our native fauna. That means anything fatal is out of the question, like mini electric fences ! You should also avoid spraying chilli and garlic on them too as this could harm the lizard permanently. My suggestion is a physical barrier - something slippery like a plastic collar that it can't climb over. The Botanic gardens put them around trees to stop various pesky creatures climbing up them to do damage. It seems to work there.
