Ha for sure, the only 'issue' I ever have with water is the hassle of unrolling/rolling out the hose :). The soil here has quite a bit of clay so I've been removing the lumps and replacing with compost.
Snails can be devastating too but so far I've not had to deal with hordes of them. The 'wildlife' to keep away over here consists of the two dogs and the nocturnal foxes 😂.
Dogs I don't have a problem with and we've only had one fox visit for a while, but slugs and snails, we get them! I wouldn't have expected it with such a hot dry climate, but as soon as we get the cooler weather and rains, they're in there! When we first bought the house, the lawn at night would be smothered in snails when it rained. I would be treading on them, RTB was putting them in buckets then emptying them into the bin (not sure why, other than he can't abide the crunch). Eventually it got them to numbers our plants could survive.
Then the slugs... let's just say that they can hold their beer here. I've never been able to get them to manageable levels. We get this nighttime rotation of bugs that eat the veggies. Winter is slugs, spring is earwigs, summer is weevils. I correct the latter two for chickens and they stop for a bit, until the following year when it starts again. The slugs I go out with a pair of snips on...
Goodness, I wouldn't have expected there to be so many snails and slugs in South Australia...snips for the slugs eh - fun pastimes :D.
Squishy, slimey things freak me out as well. Fun if you're into horror and creeping yourself out, I guess. 😅
