Have you tried spraying your plants with Quassia ?
They are very bitter and it is said to deter possums.
You may have to spray every night for a few days until they get the message.
Quassia is cheap though
We sell 100 grams of chips - enough for several gallons of spray - for $5.
TFG newsletter 4 has a an article on Quassia
