Noreen asks, “Has anybody any tips on how I can prevent pukeko from destroying my vege garden? I have tried netting but they just trample over it or pull the veg out between the holes in the netting. I would appreciate any suggestions.”

Gorsegully from Dunedin suggest the answer is, “Stewed in slow cooker.”
Thrifty from Hamilton writes, “A pukeko is a bird with a strong sense of smell and it can be deterred from the garden with the smell of mothballs – but this may have an effect on beneficial insects in a vegetable garden too. Mothballs are usually used around flowers like roses.”
