Critters in my yard. Raccoons eating all the fruit scraps I put around my bananas for potassium and nitrogen and digging up all my piles of grass clippings. Then there's tree rats (AKA squirrels) waiting patiently to eat my mangoes, guavas, watermelons, pineapples and bananas before I get to. I think there may be other critters out there as well... It never ends!
It seems the only way to fix it is to get another critter to put in my yard to chase away all those, but they bark all the time, and dig up things after I plant them plus cost me food money...
Don't get me started on fungus... I live in Florida.
