I know Oleander is goat proof.

What is the name of the green glossy leaved plant/shrub/bush locally known here as Chit?

Any other goat proof plants that anyone knows about?

they don't seem to like the bougainvillea, at least they leave mine alone they just prefer to eat my jasmine. they don't eat the cacti either.

Just look in a goat grazed field and see what survives! What ever it is... and mostly it is asphodel.. you probably wouldn't want it in your garden. Çit Sarmasigi is greater bindweed but I don't know if that helps.

Thanks but "chit" is not the Bindweed.

And the Wooly beasts dont eat the Cactus but they give it a bloody good nibble on the way through..........

Chit? has glossy dark green leaves, sort of Laurel like in size and shape.

Checked through my books but cant find it anywhere. S'pose I will just have to ask around on me way to town.

Cheers anyway.

Sorry about this but it reminds me of when Paddy and Murphy were up in court, Paddy got 6 months for making love to a goat and Murphy got 12 months for acting the goat

Apparently goats sh*t keeps goats away and it is a good fertilizer to boot. They don't like the smell of their own sh*t (but who does?). Also keeps Albino Elephants out of the garden. It must work co's I havent seen one of those in ages.
